“Alexandra was amazing! My work schedule changed last minute and she was very flexible and quick to reply to messages making the last minute change smooth and stress-free. She sent updates with photos regularly and my dog was super happy in her care and loved her dog Katara.”
“Friendly and professional. The photo updates put me even more at ease, seeing that he was enjoying himself. That there is a dog run nearby and he’s taken for night walks was a bonus.”
“Gabriella was fantastic to deal with very accommodating and the girls had an absolute riot with her! 10/10 will be a repeat client and if you care about your dog you will too”
“Brigitta and her team of young helpers are amaaaazing! My two labradors were clearly loved and by all. HIGHLY recommend this sitter, although to be honest, I don't want her to get too busy so that she doesn't have space for us!”
“Julie and family were fabulous pet sitters for our Stella!! They were very accommodating of our changing schedules and were always very welcome and friendly to us and Stella.”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Brittany was so great to deal with, I'm so happy to have found her. Molly was comfortable with her and her dogs right away and I can tell she enjoyed her stay. Brittany sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I would for sure recommend Brittany, great experience!”
“Nikhil and Jharna were amazing! It was our dog's first time, so she was very nervous when we left her, but they were very patient and gave Daisy her space until she felt more comfortable with them.”
“Dolly is so kind and always takes such good care of our special needs dog. We have used Dolly twice now and already have her booked for a 3rd stay. Super pleased with the care our dogs get with Dolly.”

“Shari and Richard were great with Gus! We received photo and descriptive updates, which made us confident that our dog was safe and happy. Shari and Richard are very experienced with dogs and we highly recommend trusting them with your pet.”

“Second time Frankie has stayed with Carl and everything was great. I highly recommend him to others looking for a pet sitter. It is so nice to have photos to see what she gets up to during her stay. We will for sure use Carl again the next time we need a sitter for Frankie!”
“Connie has been an absolute fantastic and treat to deal with. Herself and her partner are so trustworthy and kind with our little guy. We drive an hour and a half to drop him off with them and I'd drive further just to know he's safe with them. 6/5 stars if I could give it”
“Heather is friendly and seems to absolutely love dogs as well as her daughter. From the pictures she sent, Archie looked relaxed and happy the way he snuggled up to both of them. Hopefully we have found a permanent dog sitter.”
“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“Harshita took wonderful care of my puppy! He can be a lot as hes very playful and jumpy. He was happy and comfortable when we picked him up! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Charlie!”

About: Hi, I’m Alexys! As a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for—including cats. I understand that each cat has a unique personality, whether they’re playful, independent, or prefer quiet companionship. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, feeding, litter box care, playtime, or simply a calm presence to keep your cat comfortable while you’re away. Your cat’s safety, routine, and well-being are always my top priorities.

“Brea is amazing! She initially came by for a meet and greet and we knew immediately she was the one to care for our kitties. Each visit she shared photos and her affection for our cats with us. We truly felt they were receiving the very best care while we were away. We will most definitely call on Brea again. “Thanks Brea””
“Maddy again did a great job cat-sitting our two kitties. They were well-cared for and both they and our house were in great shape when we returned. Thanks for another great sit, Maddy!”
About: I’ve been around cats for years and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries. I’m comfortable with everything from playful, social cats to shy or independent ones, and I’m patient about earning their trust. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and the little behavioral changes that can indicate when something isn’t quite right.
About: I've cared for many different cats and am comfortable with kittens, adult cats, and seniors. I have experience administering medication, handling shy or less social pets, and following complex care instructions. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply have their space respected, I'm happy to provide the care they need!
About: Update: Based in Bellingham Washington, currently looking to board/housesit for aniamals in Bellingham. I am a full time dog trainer and animal caretaker. I am also available for hire for canine training. I am in the process of receiving my national professional degree for Large and Small Animal Accupressure. I am also available for hire on the northern coast of Oregon, available for animal sitting in-home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for neighborhood pups, giving them daily walks and love which fueled my admiration for them. I love spending time with animals because of how much we learn from each other. I spent summers working on a farm where I learned to work with all animals - great and small. From draft horses to cattle to chinchillas to fish to llamas to birds and bunny rabbits - I have worked with many types of animals. With dogs, I have cared for and train dogs from dachshunds to Great Pyrenees and so many breeds in between. I have worked with animals for over 15 years time as a caretaker. I volunteer at an animal shelter where I get to work with lots of different breeds. I have experience working with dogs which need a little bit of extra help on their manners or that have come from an abusive situation, creating a calm and trusting atmosphere for them where they can thrive. I find that not just do I love spending time with animals but that I grow as a person working with them. I am also available for pet sitting of animals other then dogs, as well. So please, go on your next vacation with your mind at ease, knowing your pets are well cared for and are on a vacation of their very own at our beautiful farm in northern Bellingham, complete with acerage, rolling fields and plenty of room to run and play. Wishing you a beautiful day!
About: What sets me apart is my patient, attentive, and compassionate approach to caring for every cat as an individual. I understand that cats have unique personalities and comfort levels, so I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace while respecting their routines, boundaries, and preferences. Whether your cat is playful and social or quiet and independent, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Although I have a mild cat allergy, it has never prevented me from providing excellent care. I'm comfortable feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, administering routine care as directed, playing, grooming if requested, and giving cats the attention and affection they enjoy. I manage my allergy responsibly so I can focus on providing reliable, high-quality care for your furry family member. I'm also comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens who need interactive play and enrichment to senior cats who benefit from a calmer pace, extra patience, and close attention to their routines. I believe clear communication with owners and personalized care are the foundation of a positive experience, and I strive to ensure every cat feels secure, respected, and well cared for in your absence.

“Nikhil and his partner Jharna took care of my dog like their own child. My dog is a husky mix and needs couple of hours a day for walks and calm atmosphere at home. They give her plenty of walks, ensure she is well fed. She used to be picky eater and they would make sure she eats her meals with food toppings. They regularly update us with how she is doing. Most importantly, they give her lots of love. They are great in communicating about confirmation and pick up. This is my second time boarding my dog with them and my dog comes back happy and relaxed. Thank you!”
About: Hi I'm Katie! Also known as that British lady! I have owned dogs my entire life, usually always two at a time. I currently have one of my own after losing three elderly dogs in the last few years. I now only have Ernie a chihuahua cross i rescued from Kansas in 2017. I've had experience with various breeds and fostered ex racer greyhounds for a while in the U.K. I also have two indoor/outdoor cats I rescued as kittens from local feral cat litters. I finish work for the Summer in June and can offer drop in services up to three times a day for dogs, cats and smaller furries if you live in the local area, Maple Falls etc. These can be whilst you’re at work to give your beloved pet a potty break or they can be for longer stretches of time while you vacation so you can feel secure your dogs are in their own home safe and comfortable. I can also board dogs in my own home from all over Whatcom county if they are dog/cat/responsible kid friendly. I have a fenced in yard and a very dog friendly house! I finish work for the summer in June and have a lot of availability for both walks, drop ins and boarding! From June 12th my schedule really opens up! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have two dog friendly cats who are indoor and outdoor and tolerated living with four dogs and two kids. Dogs are allowed on my sofa and bed but only if you allow that at home… I don’t want to create bad habits!

“Baxter was very excited to see Heather again after our meet and greet a couple of months ago - he led me right to her door! Her dog and mine were good playmates and company. Baxter is fairly energetic since he's just 1 yr old so Heather ensured that he had some outdoor play time as well. I would definitely recommend Heather and will likely book her again.”
“My two doggos stayed with Bobby during the day while I had appointments in town and they came home with me tired and happy. They made friends with Bobby and her pups and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them in with her again. Thank you!”

About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.
About: Hi my name is Ella! I'm a college student and aspiring veterinarian with a passion for caring for animals, and hands-on experience working with animals of all kinds. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and no matter what that is, I am happy to provide the care they need. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and taking care of larger animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I'm available to care for your pets any time, any day of the week throughout August and into late September! Whether you need a last-minute sitter or are planning ahead, I'd love to help. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to follow your pet's routine, and I'll carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure you receive regular updates while you're away.

About: Since I was a child I was raised around all types of animals. I took care of them and raised them. I love putting time and effort into animals and would love to put that effort into your animals.

“We are so lucky to have found Aline to walk our Benji boy every week ❤️ Aline is so kind, communicative, and flexible with schedule changes. Her updates to me about Benji are filled with many cute pictures of Benny which help keep me at ease knowing he’s having lots of fun and being taken care of. Aline does not spare any details making sure I know where they walked, how his poop was, and if he behaved 😊 She also has experience with reactive dogs, which was an amazing bonus to us because Benji can be reactive around other big dogs— so we know he’s in good experienced hands with someone that knows how to handle his spicy side 🤣 We are thankful for Aline for taking care of our boy! ❤️”

I know all of the responsibilities that come with raising a furry friend, and I will gladly face any challenges in order to improve my skills and service. I am honored to work alongside you, as well as your dog. I work part-time, as I attend high school. I am avaliable 5-7am and 4-12pm on weeknights. I am also avaliable to spend the night, too. I care for dogs, as cats are not yet in my field of experience. I am able to run, walk, feed, love and give attention to your fur babies as needed. In addition, I am prepared for any mess and will always leave the house tidied and cleaned up.

About: I've had all kinds of pets from Henrietta the beta fish I tended to in middle school, Poppy an adorable Havanese dog that I cared for from ages 9-21, Rice Krispie a pit bull mix and Misty a mix, both who I fostered in college, and last but certainly not least Jinx and Binx two dapper tuxedo cats I lived with fall through winter quarter of my senior year! Even as a child, I've found myself drawn to animals and would love to show some affection to your pet! I currently have very open and flexible availability, allowing me to tailor my schedule to you and your pet’s needs. I am willing to work with any availability spots suggested.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for neighbors, friends, coworkers and everyone in between for about 6 years now. From rats, dogs, cats, reptiles, I’ve done it all to make sure everyone’s favorite animals are safe and happy. Though I work full-time, I’m work from home. There will be days I have to travel out of town, but for the most part I’ll be home. Anytime after 1-2pm I’m completely free for pet care. At home, I have a very sweet dog that roams around the house and two curious cats that generally keep to themselves unless they’re hungry. There’s a baby gate up that just keeps the older cat away from eating the younger one’s food.
About: I have always had a passion for animals. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, we love going on hikes, going to the park, basically anything. When I'm not at work, I'm always with my girls. I have worked in an animal shelter in the past, and I would love to get more experience working with animals. Who knows, this could be the direction I end up taking my career. I have a little bit of experience with house-sitting/dog-sitting. I am very comfortable handling multiple dogs at a time. My dogs are very friendly and I don't believe I have ever met another dog that they have not gotten along with. They are getting a little grumpy in their old age, but they’re still very sweet! I was working remote and was recently laid off due to outsourcing. So I am home with my dogs every day, we go on walks around our neighborhood and go to dog parks in the area. I have an unfenced yard and 2 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are indoor/outdoor, and they are not shy with dogs. We keep dogs on a lead if they aren’t great off-leash and we have a good little spot to throw the ball.

“Brittany was so great to deal with, I'm so happy to have found her. Molly was comfortable with her and her dogs right away and I can tell she enjoyed her stay. Brittany sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I would for sure recommend Brittany, great experience!”
“Nikhil and Jharna were amazing! It was our dog's first time, so she was very nervous when we left her, but they were very patient and gave Daisy her space until she felt more comfortable with them.”
“Sofia was great! She sent us photos all the time of our dog which we loved seeing. It seemed like Milo had a great time and we really appreciate Sofia watching him over the holidays.”
“Dolly is so kind and always takes such good care of our special needs dog. We have used Dolly twice now and already have her booked for a 3rd stay. Super pleased with the care our dogs get with Dolly.”
“Shawn had our Ophelia for the weekend, he kept us informed with how she was doing and sent us photos. Ophelia had a great time on her walks and was lived and snuggled! Thankyou so much Shawn for taking such amazing care of our precious girl!!”
“Chelsea was very responsive and accommodating. I called at the last minute she had no problem taking our Airedale Terrier. Such a help know that Zeus would have a good place to stay while we were away - thank you Chelsea.”
“Second time Frankie has stayed with Carl and everything was great. I highly recommend him to others looking for a pet sitter. It is so nice to have photos to see what she gets up to during her stay. We will for sure use Carl again the next time we need a sitter for Frankie!”
“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“Thank you thank you to Shalaine for her excellent care of our dog, Chester. He wasn’t eating well before the stay and Shalaine provided him with home cooked meals. She went above and beyond the call of duty. Shalaine’s entire family pampered Chester and kept him very happy during his time with them.”
“Jennifer took great care of our family member Blue. (As with some human family members, our canine family member can be a handful.). Jennifer worked with our requests and Blue’s nuances/personality. Couldn’t be more pleased that we found Jennifer and were fortunate to have Blue hang out in a great environment, with customized attention. Five stars.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful and took great care of our dog, Luka, while we were away for 8 days. She consistently kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely confident leaving Luka in her care, along with Lucy, her adorable puppy. Thanks to Heather, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without any worries. I highly recommend her!”
“Michelle and her family took great care of our Mini Aussie while we were traveling. We appreciated the great communication and how she figured out that Izzy just loves to be with people. We would absolutely love to have her care for Izzy again!”
“Rachael was absolutely wonderful! She loved and cared for Charlie like he was her own and sent us lots of fun videos and pictures of him enjoying his time with her. I would highly recommend her. :)”
“Lenore was amazing! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Her dog Rook is friendly and very well mannered. She has a fenced yard and is conveniently located. Kept me up to date throughout Fozzi’s stay and I got tons of pictures/videos!!!”
“Wonderful first experience for both Ella and I. Randona gives consistent and transparent updates which provides a great level of comfort. Ella had a ton of playtime, new experiences, and new feline friends! Thank you!”
