“Our Cavaliers loved staying with Amy. Her home was accommodating, and they seemed very comfortable with the family and her dogs. My dogs immediately made themselves at home and I'm sure would eagerly return!”
“My Pitt and chihuahua seemed in high spirits coming home from their stay with Shadie. She updated me with messages and photos on a last minute overnight stay, it was perfect. Definitely will return and would recommend to any friend!”
“Emily and Erik have been wonderful with our dog Blitz. Blitz loves to come play with their dog Lennox and we get updates and are never concerned about leaving him in their care. Definitely recommend this family for your dogs care.”
“Jennifer took such great care of our puppy and had amazing communication! She sent photos and videos to update us and kept us informed throughout the day of how she was doing. It really gave us such peace of mind. We would love to book with her again in the future!”
“Annabelle was a great dog sitter! She was very responsive from the beginning and kept in touch with updates throughout the week. We highly recommend her and her family to watch your pup!”
“I’m always amazed at how relaxed Elaine is with dogs and kids and family, each with their separate needs. She went above and beyond to get the right medication for my dogs itchies.”
“Araceli, Breezy’s boarding care provider, was incredibly patient, kind, attentive, and loving during my pup’s two-night stay at her place. She’s organized and mindful of space, creating a large yet contained backyard area. Breezy’s new best friend is the most friendly dog I’ve ever met. They’re all play and fun together. I’ll definitely book Araceli again!”
“Maryorie is so good about sending me daily pictures and updates when Kiiah stays with her family. Kiiah has two new play buddies with Maryorie's dogs and she seems so happy! I'm totally confident that Kiiah is getting great care when we travel. Thanks, Maryorie!”
“Abra and her family took incredible care of our pup Maui and we are so grateful! They even helped him through a super scary thunder storm with love and compassion. Thank you so much!”
“My dog is so shy around strangers, but Kathy really knew how to treat her. I didn't worry and was able to enjoy our get-away. I've already booked another stay with Kathy.”
“Lajetta went above and beyond in caring for my dog, Boo. He became a part of her family and was just loved on the whole time. My little guy bonded with her so quickly, and he's normally anxious with strangers. I couldn't be more grateful for her care of Boo, as well as meeting this amazing woman!”
“Hailey and her family were so friendly, kind, and easy to work with. We met ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and Hailey was so thorough and asked great questions, which gave me a lot of confidence in leaving Willow with them. Willow had the best time while we were away. We will definitely book with Hailey again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Tosha was amazing in caring for Rocco! I wanted him to be with someone who had veterinary experience because my dog needed a major dental surgery, and wanted him to be with someone 100% confident with medical stuff and wow did I pick the right person! I was not worried about Rocco at alllll while he was with Tosha. She is immensely professional, kind, compassionate, responsible, was easy to communicate with as far as texted questions and provided updates via photos and videos unprompted. I highly recommend Tosha for anyone needing a dog sitter for any reason not just a post surgery thing. Thanks Tosha!”
“Annie is our almost 14 year old Jack Russel...she can be a hand full. It was nice to see photos of Annie laying on a quilt on Kristen's lap. We are very happy that Annie did well under Kristen's care. She is going blind and gets scared easy. Staying with Kristen was soIt is so much better than boarding her.. The last 2 times we had house sitters...we were worried...but everything worked out great...Thank you Kristen..”
“Jared has always gone above and beyond watching my Pomeranian. He is very prompt with communication and quick to reply. And able to work with my sometimes hectic schedule and flight delays. He even helped me jump start my car when my car died outside their house after dropping off my dog! I will continue booking with them whenever I am on work trips.”
“Larissa was the perfect person to take care of my dog. She sent me updates and photos throughout the entire time. I felt assured that my dog Mac was in good hands and at no point was worried. I’d happily leave my pup with Larissa again!”
“She did an exceptional job with Miso! This was his first time boarding with someone he didn’t already know, so we were a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. You can genuinely tell that she does this because she loves dogs. She sent us frequent updates and photos throughout his stay, was incredibly accommodating, and was just such a kind, easygoing person to work with. Most importantly, Miso seemed happy and well cared for. We had a great experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again! ❤️”
“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Haleigh sent lots of pictures and info about Phoebe. She was very patient with our pup's anxiety and food issues. Phoebe was happy and healthy at pickup. Thanks, Haleigh.”

“Mark did an incredible job taking care of our elderly cat Gus for a 4 day house sit job. He was very attentive to Gus’s needs and helped him overcome superstition anxiety while we were away. I could not recommend Mark anymore!”
“Absolutely loved having Victoria watch over my babies. This was our first time having someone come do a drop by and I was worried how it would go but my boys quickly warmed up to her. I love how she kept in constant contact and gave me daily updates and pictures. Thank you so much!!!!”
“Jocelyn did such an amazing job looking after our cats! She was very accommodating and responsive. When our power went out, she called and troubleshot it with me. Really appreciate her and all she did for our cats!”
“Thank you Claire for taking care of my little shy monster during the holidays! I appreciated your feedback and pictures ? I will definitely contact you next time Tetsuo needs supervision ?”
“Julia provided an update at each visit and communicated questions and concerns. We returned home to find a happy cat. We'll definitely reach out to Julia in the future.”
“Bond is never happy to have his regular staff away, but he seemed happy when we got home so Emily apparently was a good substitute! Emily had good communication and sent photos daily.”
“Rebecca is so dependable, reliable and caring. She fed and watered my diabetic cat over a weekend and administered her insulin shots. She truly was a lifesaver and i absolutely will use her again. Completely trustworthy.”
“Amy sat with my cat Shadow while I went on a 10 day vacation with family recently. I received daily pics and updates from her and I returned to a clean house and a happy cat. Amy clearly loves cats, she's dependable, and she's a lovely person to boot.”
About: I know most cats are happiest staying in the comfort of their own home, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you're away. Whether your cat is outgoing or prefers to observe from across the room, I'll let them set the pace and earn their trust. With 14 years of veterinary experience, I'm comfortable caring for senior cats, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. At this time, I do not offer cat boarding. I'm happy to care for your cat through drop-in visits or house sitting so they can stay safe and comfortable in their own environment.
About: I am a French bulldog mom of 2 dogs. 4 yr old Remy and 6 yr old Wilbur. They are crazy and have a lot of energy. I grew up since I was little with dogs and cats in the home and have loved taking care of them. I let dogs be on the couch. I will take your dog on a lot of walks and have lots of play time. Cuddles on the couch too! I have a house and a good small fenced yard. According to family members my house is the doggy resort. l was also told my happy place is with dogs/animals. I couldn’t agree more! I only take 1 dog at a time so I can devote more time to your pup. I might consider two. Please let me know if you have any questions (about availability, pricing, etc.). I’m pretty easy going. If it shows I’m not available on my calendar feel free to still reach out, I might be available. Wilbur, Remy, and I are happy to meet you! **I will not take: large dogs (even if they’re under 40lbs), Alpha dogs, and dogs that pee inside** . I am currently on winter break from nursing school. That starts back up January 12th so I will not be here all day everyday once that starts up again. Currently though I work full time from home, and are home most of the time. I have a small fenced yard. I also have a doggy door built in the screen so pups can go in and out easily when they need to potty or bathe in the sun if I am not outside with them. Birds and squirrels frequent my backyard so if your dog likes to chase those and watch, they’ve got a front row seat! When I’m not home they can be crated if needed, or roam free inside, and I keep all doors locked. I also have security cameras inside and outside of my home. You can reach me any time, day or night with questions. I work full time from home. I am home majority of the time when not in school, attention to your pup is a top priority! I have a fenced yard and two dogs for your pet to enjoy! I also have cameras outside. Tons of toys and chew things for dogs to enjoy as well.
About: We have owned pets for 20+ years including cats, dogs, a rabbit, fish, chickens and more, and have taken care of a variety of pets for friends, family and neighbors along the way. We have also volunteered for the local Petsmart taking care of kittens and adult cats in the catio. We love our pets and will adore yours as well! We can provide care such as, but not limited to, feeding, watering, medications, cuddling, playing, walking and plenty of love. Laurilee works part-time a couple of days per week as a RN. Travis works full-time from home generally with a flexible schedule as a consulting Forester. We have availability for drop-ins or walks generally between 12:30-2:30 a few days per week and occasional weekends, however this varies and will need to remain somewhat flexible, as we also care for our elderly grandmother. We can not offer baording or overnight stays at owners homes at this time. We are not available for evenings currently, as we have our childrens' activities. We are responsible and will honor the safety requests that you have for your pet(s) in your home and/or on walks. We will maintain a friendly and fun environment while keeping safety the #1 priority. Rover completed background checks on both Travis and Laurilee. In the case of an emergency we would contact you, your emergency veterinarian if shared with us, and Rover immediately. We both have the American Red Cross Pet First Aid app downloaded on our smart phones for quick access for urgent care recommendations if ever needed, along with quick access to the Rover Guarantee webpage and emergency number. Available most weekdays, M-F 12:30pm-2:30pm. Not available evenings or weekends. Boarding and overnight care is not offered at this time. Check-ins and walks may be done by Laurilee, Travis or both depending on the day. If approved, our teenage daughters may join us when available for extra pets and playmates. At this time we are unable to offer pet care service in our home. We have many of our own pets who do not appreciate having other animals in the house.
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart, especially since becoming a cat owner myself. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet and your home. Whether your cat is playful, cuddly, or more independent, I'll take the time to earn their trust and care for them according to their routine. From feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable until you return.

“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
“Larissa was an absolute lifesaver when I needed last-minute doggy daycare for Dryden for a couple of days. She was extremely accommodating on short notice and made the entire process completely stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Dryden became fast friends with her dog, Appa, right away. I think having Appa around really helped calm him down and made it super easy for him to get acclimated and feel right at home. He came back happy and well-cared-for, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Larissa again in the future!”
“Maryorie was friendly and great with communication. It was my first rover experience and it was nice to get a picture update after drop off and report about how he did at the end of the day. I appreciate how she did a meet and greet before hand to ensure my dog and her dogs would get along and so that we could get to know her. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Dana took great care of Drake. Drake was happy playing in her mini pool . Her communication was excellent, she sent photos and updates regularly. I will definitely use her service again and recommend!”
“Elaine is pure gold. My doggo, who has massive separation anxiety, is thrilled when we roll up to her door. That would. W enough for a 5* rating! And then, she’s also super flexible with scheduling and timing! Win win win. TLDR; Elaine rocks, trust her with yer pup!”
“Dominique has been great to have as someone we trust to watch our puppy. She has been very easy to communicate with and flexible with her time which we are grateful for since sometimes our schedules don’t always go as planned. I can tell our dog Kali is loved and has a great time there when I pick her up. There’s usually other friendly dogs there throughout the day that Kali can play with and it’s always nice to hear she’s making friends. We will definitely be back!”
About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.
“Danielle took my pup Dinah in for a last minute day care and was very friendly and the environment was very tidy and dog friendly. She did great with Dinah and my pup seemed so happy after pick up. I highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Shell is so amazing. She clearly cares about animals and goes out of her way to be accommodating and has a vast knowledge of dogs and their behaviors. She always sends us great videos and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with her Buddha. He comes home exercised, calm, and happy. I would recommend Shell to watch your fur babies and I really trust her and appreciate all her knowledge. She is very kind and treats our dog like her own. Our Chip cried when we drove away from her house and slept like a baby when he got home. She’s awesome.”
“Jared was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, he was warm and welcoming to my pup, instantly putting us both at ease. Throughout the day, Jared kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which I truly appreciated. His communication was clear and thorough, and he even informed me promptly when my pup had a minor nosebleed. Knowing that Jared has a vet tech background gave me complete peace of mind, and I was confident that my pup was in safe and capable hands. I can't recommend Jared highly enough and am eager to use his services again in the future.”
“Lajetta was a great dog sitter for our doodles! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures & we could tell the doodles were being loved, cared for & comfortable.”
“Haleigh has sat Rocky on a few occasions now when I've been in town for work and can't take him into the office. Appreciate her responsiveness and I know my pup is in trusted hands!”
“April was great to work with. She had excellent communication throughout the day and was able to watch Daisy on short notice. Daisy seemed comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend April to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Frances was so amazing she went above and beyond for us, she came and picked up Dolly to work with our schedules. She also took her on a walk and then later to the dog park. Just when I would wonder how they are doing she would shoot me a video or a picture to let me know how their day was going. I would 100% recommend Frances to friends and family who love their pets and need a reliable human to care for them. Francis next time we are in need you will be my 1st call!!!!!! Thank you so much! Side notes~Great communication, her home is lovely and clean.”
About: I am a dog mom to a young Mini Aussie and Cavalier mix. I have raised her since she was 8 weeks. I also have experience puppy and dog sitting for my friends and neighbors dogs. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, medication, cleaning, and car rides. I have volunteered at local animal shelters to take dogs on neighborhood walks to enrich their day and to help them get adopted. I have taken dogs on hikes and are aware of walking safety and managing dog interactions. I have a flexible work schedule as I work from home. I can be available for a single walk per day or multiple drop in visits per day. Monday and Thursday 9:30am-11am are the only times I will not be available. I can be available to a limited amount of repeat visits per week. Please reach out regarding schedule and booking questions. I understand as a dog parent that sometimes you are needing immediate pet care. I am a reliable, generous and fun dog mom. I will be offering drop in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting from my own home. My home has a fenced outdoor space, open space downstairs and upstairs for dogs to play. I have a very social and friendly dog that gets along with every dog she meets. We have many blankets and you are welcome to bring over any of your dogs favorite beds and comfort toys. I always have kibble and dog treats and feeding bowls on hand. Please feel free to bring your own as well.
About: I’ve had dogs for nearly 30 years. I’ve cared for dogs in all stages of life from puppies to senior dogs. All of my dogs of aged and moved on so I have space in my home and my heart. I work almost exclusively from home so I can easily care for pets without interrupting my routine. Your pet won’t be left alone for much time at all. I have a fully fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walking and can easily make sure your dog gets enough exercise and play time.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a stay at home mom, I have plenty of time to watch your loved ones while you’re away. We have an active but relaxed home. We currently have one extremely friendly, well socialized shepherd mix dog who gets along with every dog he meets. Over the years I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My kids love dogs and are able to let new dog friends acclimate without pestering. We walk the neighborhood every night and play in the backyard. I am a stay at home mom with elementary aged kids. Especially during the school year, I am almost always at home. My husband also works full time from home so there is always someone here to keep an eye on things. We have a great schedule in place for our dog in terms of potty breaks and feeding. We have a fully fenced back yard and a lovely neighborhood full of sidewalks to go on long evening walks. In our home, dogs are part of the family. They are allowed on the couch and sleep in our bedroom. Our dog has a nice schedule for feeding and going potty and he loves sunbathing on the back patio.
“Our 17-month old Boxer is full of energy and we haven’t yet trained him to stop pulling on leash. He was staying with his senior grandparents while we traveled, so we hired Victoria to take him on a long daily walk since she knows how to handle a strong dog. Victoria was great! She was timely every day, communicated well before and during the week she walked our pup, and sent great report cards. She asked our thoughts on walking her dog with ours, which we enthusiastically endorsed - our dog loves friends. Her dog and ours had a great time together and our puppy was thrilled when Victoria arrived every day. This was a great experience for us and our puppy.”
“Jocelyn is prompt, friendly, reliable, and our pup loves going on walks with her. I feel like I can very safely trust my dog in her care, which means everything. Highly recommend!”
“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats since for almost 15 years. I also grew up with cats and dogs in our family home. My family currently has a 2 year old Golden Retriever named Lily and 2 cats named Dobby and Luna (can you tell we’re Harry Potter fans? 😉). Before our Golden Retriever, we had a Staffordshire Terrier mix named Maggie. We had her for 8 years - she died unexpectedly in August 2021. While we had Maggie we also had 2 cats named Oscar and Felix. My husband and I moved in together in July 2009 and since then we have never not owned at least 1 animal at any given time. We are obviously an animal-loving family! I have always loved dogs and their unconditional love and companionship. They’ll never judge or ridicule, just love you. In addition to our dog and 2 cats we have 2 human children - our son Jaxson is 8 and our daughter Addie is 5. My husband is a plumber and I have been a stay at home mom for 5+ years now. My son will be in 3rd grade in the Fall and my daughter is starting kindergarten. Thus, I will have more free time during the day now to help with your beautiful and lovable pets! I’m currently a full-time stay at home parent but my youngest child will be starting kindergarten in September, so I will have lots more time to play with your pups and take them for walks, or even provide doggy daycare at my home. I can also provide drop-in visits for cats. I can also provide house-sitting but only primarily on the weekends. I will primarily be available Monday-Friday from 8:30am-2:30pm but I could also do evenings and weekends depending on my kids’ activities schedules. For doggy daycare services, have a fully fenced yard and a very friendly and non-aggressive Golden Retriever who loves playing with other dogs. We also have a large soft crate if your dog needs to be crated if I need to leave the house for awhile. For dog-walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting I will treat your home with the utmost respect and follow any and all rules and procedures of your home. I want you to feel secure and comfortable at all times with me being in your home and taking care of your beloved pets.
“Great dog walker, both patient and kept training Gracie to heel. Pleasant company, too, while I walked our second dog. We recommend her and will ask for her again if we need this service again”
About: I’ve cared for animals for several years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including three ferrets, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to an animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel at ease. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and quality care. I truly love all pets and have even began volunteering at the southwest humane society to continue my journey with pet care! I have open availability all summer and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! During the school year (September through June), I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m typically available on weekends, afternoons, and school breaks. I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, ensure they get the appropriate amount of exercise and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and affection.
About: Animals have always gravitated toward me. I wish I could take more credit for it, but at this point, I just lean into it. Over 10 years of caring for pets of all kinds, I've become the person friends and family call when they need someone who'll actually look after their animals like they matter. I've worked with puppies, seniors, large breeds, multi-pet homes, and cats who take a little convincing. My personal record is 7 dogs and 2 cats under one roof, and everyone left happy, including me. I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I'm just as comfortable with cats as I am with dogs. Every visit comes with photos and genuine communication, not just a thumbs up that they're alive. I pay attention to your pet, notice when something feels off, and treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. One thing worth mentioning: I only take bookings in non-smoking homes, and I appreciate your understanding on that. My schedule is flexible right now, so I can work around yours. Whether it's consistent weekly visits or the occasional last-minute request, I can usually make it work as long as I'm not already booked. First, I'd like to meet you and your pet in person. It helps me get familiar with their personality and routine, and makes sure they know who I am before I show up solo. The last thing I want is for your pet to see me as a stranger who isn't supposed to be there. We'll go over their feeding schedule, medications, leash behavior, training, and emergency vet info, including the nearest location. I'll ask you to put it all in writing before I get started so we're both on the same page, and nothing gets missed. I'll also want to know how they do around other animals on walks, since some dogs are social butterflies and some aren't, and I'd rather know upfront than find out mid-walk. When I'm in your home, I treat it with care, keep things exactly as you'd want them, and make sure your pet stays comfortable and keeps their routine the whole time.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was young and for the past three years, I’ve taken care of my own puppy. I love all animals, providing for their needs, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. When I take care of them, I provide lots of photos and details of what went on during the visit to keep you updated. Your pets are safe with me! My schedule is currently very open, so I have plenty of room in my schedule to care for your fur baby and provide for their needs. If needed, I can crate your dog or keep them in a pen, whichever situation you have. I’m meticulous about making sure that there is nothing around that could harm your pet and I keep a vigilant eye.
About: I am a kind and loving mother, teacher, and experienced pet care provider with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and other furry friends, always treating each one with the same love and attention I give my own family. My clients value my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine heart for animals. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I am a teacher so I am available for care in the afternoons after 4pm, and weekends. As well as holidays, school breaks and summer. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance to a few nature trails and local parks for keeping pets exercised. I have a very sweet dog to keep your pet company, as well as a large multilevel home to provide space and separation if that is what your pet prefers.
“Alura has walked our dog for a few weeks now and she is awesome. Really appreciate her communication style. She always communicates when necessary, and keeps things simple. She’s reliable as well, and sweet with our little dog.”
About: I've always had a soft spot for animals, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I also understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and always make sure you receive updates and photos. I'm currently working part time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available for afternoon/evening visits on weekdays and have more availability on weekends. I do my best to work around your pet's normal routine so they stay comfortable and stress free. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality and any special instructions before every visit. In your home, I'll treat your space with respect, keep everything clean and make sure doors and gates are secure. I'll also send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you're away.
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals (dogs, cats, & more) and am currently a paw-rent to an Australian shepherd/cattle dog mix & an orange tabby cat. Our rescue pup came with some pretty severe reactivity issues that we continuously spend time working on and training. This challenge has made me learn and grow so much as a pet parent and in turn, a pet sitter! I am always the designated pet-sitter for friends and family, and I love it! Outside of my own, I have had experience with lazy and chill animals, as well as reactive and/or hyper. I myself love the outdoors and would be happy to bring your fur baby on walks or hikes, short or long. I am also available for long term care and/or home visits. I am comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and have experience with senior (cat) care, and administering oral medication (dog & cat). I am here for you and your pets needs, whatever they may be! I am currently available every day of the week to meet your and your pets needs! I prefer weekdays in the mornings/afternoons before 5pm but am flexible would be happy to work out anything that would fit your schedule best! Your pets safety is my top priority! Whether I am sitting in your home or just out on a walk or hike, they will be protected.
About: Since I was 17 years old I have loved taking care of pets. I have a majority of experience in dog sitting but I have cat sat for family friends over the last couple of years. Whether it has been family, friends, or even roommates, I have dog-sat for long and short periods for a wide variety of dogs and dog personalities. I have done my time doing the typical neighbor dog walk in my hometown, but as I have gotten older and lived in other parts of Oregon I've had more diverse experiences. One terrier who I have the most pet-sitting experience disliked touching and getting pets, but I still gave him plenty of walks, play, and quality time. I love pet sitting because they provide a huge impact to everyone who wants to leave their pet in good hands. I am new to the Vancouver/Metro area, looking for work all around. I might be working for a non-profit 4 days/week, but I am available. Overall I have high weekend availability and would love to watch your dog! For house sitting I will follow any specific instructions as needed. Whether it's related to dinner, doggy bedtime, or a walk routine I can assure that the pets will be in good hands.
About: Lifelong animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I have the most experience caring for cats and dogs but have previously cared for and am comfortable with fish, birds, reptiles and small mammals. I regularly pet sit for friends and family and dedicate most of my time caring for my own pets. In my spare time, I volunteer at a local cat shelter. Most of my time is dedicated to caring for my own pampered pets but as well as others. I regularly pet sit for family and friends and on average take care of a handful of them 3-4 times a month. I try to spend my time surrounded by as many animals as possible. I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog. There is a large backyard with enough room for running and multiple rooms available for isolating animals if needed. I always have extra cat and dog supplies.
About: I am a dog mom to a young Mini Aussie and Cavalier mix. I have raised her since she was 8 weeks. I also have experience puppy and dog sitting for my friends and neighbors dogs. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, medication, cleaning, and car rides. I have volunteered at local animal shelters to take dogs on neighborhood walks to enrich their day and to help them get adopted. I have taken dogs on hikes and are aware of walking safety and managing dog interactions. I have a flexible work schedule as I work from home. I can be available for a single walk per day or multiple drop in visits per day. Monday and Thursday 9:30am-11am are the only times I will not be available. I can be available to a limited amount of repeat visits per week. Please reach out regarding schedule and booking questions. I understand as a dog parent that sometimes you are needing immediate pet care. I am a reliable, generous and fun dog mom. I will be offering drop in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting from my own home. My home has a fenced outdoor space, open space downstairs and upstairs for dogs to play. I have a very social and friendly dog that gets along with every dog she meets. We have many blankets and you are welcome to bring over any of your dogs favorite beds and comfort toys. I always have kibble and dog treats and feeding bowls on hand. Please feel free to bring your own as well.
About: I have been pet sitting for a few years ever since I was in high school. I have taken care of many animals such as dogs, puppies, cats, guinea pigs, and chickens. I understand that every pet has their own individual personalities and take that into consideration. While I have fed according to their meal plans and dietary needs, walked, and given lots of love an attention to dogs and other animals I also take in their personality into consideration. It is important for your dog to feel comfortable and safe with the person taking care of them so that they won’t feel lonely or anxious while you’re away. I’m not currently working since I’m in Washington now after coming from school. So for now, my schedule is pretty open but I may get a part time job in the future if I can to help provide payment for my tuition. I walk the dogs at requested times or if the dog desires to do so, I always try my best to stay punctual on when they should be fed, taking them out on potty breaks, playing with them and giving them the care they need.

Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.”
“She did an exceptional job with Miso! This was his first time boarding with someone he didn’t already know, so we were a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. You can genuinely tell that she does this because she loves dogs. She sent us frequent updates and photos throughout his stay, was incredibly accommodating, and was just such a kind, easygoing person to work with. Most importantly, Miso seemed happy and well cared for. We had a great experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again! ❤️”
“Danielle was an excellent sitter for my high energy Scottish Terrier. My doggo was very happy there playing in the big yard with all of the other dogs.

She was very alone and loving to my little dog, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog.”
“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”
