Personalized care for your dog or cat - Waterman
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Waterman
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15, and I’ve loved every second, I’ve always loved dogs and I would love to love yours too. I’m currently attending west sound technical skills center Monday through Friday, on those days I am available anytime past 2:00 pm. I am free any other time. I have a fenced and unfenced yard. In both yards I will take them out with a leash as I feel that is safer, unless told otherwise. I love all dogs and I will do my best to make sure your dog feels safe and happy.
“Hank had a wonderful time with Wynona and family! He was taken such good care of and went on lots of walks, socialized with people and pets and Wynona sent photos of my baby throughout his stay. It was the first time I've ever had anyone babysit my puppy and it could not have gone better. Thank you Wynona and family for taking such wonderful care of Hank!”
“James is great with our dog Maui! He sends us regular updates on how she is doing with pictures and videos. Maui is always happy to see James and play with his dog so this tells us he is very good to her. We would 100% recommend him!”
“Another 5-star stay for Cooper with Maria! We’re so grateful for the love and care she gives him while we’re away. It gives us such peace of mind, and we know Cooper is just as happy!!!”
“Our kitty was cared for and we received frequent pictures and communication from Kyah! It allowed our family to fully enjoy our trip. Kyah will be our first choice always! Also, kitty is just as kind and loving as when we left him in the care of Kyah. He may even be a better kitty…says a lot of how well he was nurtured!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Rachel was great! Nash seemed to have had a good time with her and I'm really thankful I was able to find someone who could keep up with my constant worrying, and send pictures! Thanks for everything!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Cathleen is great with Xavier - in both the boarding and training aspects - plus her communication skills are excellent, which always makes me breathe easier, knowing that Xavier is well looked after.”

“Erica takes great care of our two little dogs! She sends photos and updates everyday, and we return to two very happy dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Miranda was an amazing care taker for our dog Bruno! Her and her family truly loved him like family while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures daily. We were almost afraid Bruno would want to stay when we got there pick him up because he looked so happy & loved in all the pictures, lol! She even gifted him a super cute dog hoodie. We have found a forever dog sitter for Bruno! I highly recommend Miranda for dog sitting if you’re looking for someone who will truly love your dog while your away.”
“David was fantastic and cared for our dog like his own! He kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. He and his family were incredibly patient and welcoming -our typically shy and anxious pup felt comfortable in no time. Their backyard is amazing, with tons of space for the dogs to run and play together. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Miriam! She was incredibly sweet and took great care of Fiona while we were out of town for a few days. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and helped us know Fiona was doing well. We really appreciated her kindness, communication, and attention to Fiona's needs. We'd be happy to book with her again!”
“Brenda was a wonderful sitter for Penny! She was responsive, detail orientated, sent the best pictures, and I could tell she really cared about Pennys wellbeing! Would highly recommend.”

“Anna always follows directions and makes sure all pets are taken care of fully. We are always confident that our pets will get the best attention while we are away on vacation when we book Anna! We highly recommend Anna for any pet care needs!”
“Ashley was a phenomal sitter for our two kitties. She was the utmost professional, communicated effectively, and took extreme care to ensure the cats were well looked after.”
“My cat loved Kimberly and she was able to complete all tasks asked. She took adorable pictures of her as well which I appreciated. Would recommend her as a pet sitter! Thank you so much!”
“I am a first time customer. Abby made the experience great. She walked me through the process and made me feel confident about the care she takes with our cat. She was professional, reliable and so kind. I’m looking forward to scheduling Abby for April and July vacations if she’s available.”
“Lisa was so great! She watched my Guinea pigs and mouse while I was away on a camping trip. My pets are my babies, I love them so much, and I felt very comfortable with her watching them. She was incredibly professional and kind, and answered all my questions regarding how the girls are doing. She went out of her way to meet with me twice before watching my girls. I would recommend her 100% and would ask her to watch my babies again in the future! Thank you so much Lisa!”
“Amanda was great with my two kitties. They are older and have quirks (random water glasses to fill, supplements to add to their food, etc) and she didnt bat an eye at any of it. I would definitely book her again!”
“Natascha took great care of our two Maine Coon cats, Remy & Ratchet! Her dedication is truly appreciated. The feeding routine was followed precisely, ensuring they ate well while we were away. The daily photo updates showing them lounging, eating & engaging with Natascha were wonderful and reassured us completely. The prompt communication made us feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. Booking again would not be a hesitation and we highly recommend this sitter to anyone seeking a truly caring and professional cat sitter.”
“Sabrina was great while I was on my recent trip! My cat has very specific dietary needs and she followed all the instructions perfectly! She took great care of him with her drop-in visits and I will happily book with her again!”
“Karin is such a fantastic communicator and is very reliable. We are repeat customers and will keep requesting her services whenever we need a cat sitter! Knowing our cat is in such good hands helps us relax when we are away!”
“If I could give Solace 100 stars I would. So caring and thorough and patient. The fact that she won over our very wild-boy goofy skittish young cat who hides from anyone who isn’t us speaks volumes. She had him coming up to her for cuddles before long. We were floored in the very best way. She’s got the touch.”
“Khayl is one of a kind . Our little Kitty passed away right before our trip. She came over though to take care of our fish for us. I love that we got videos of them and she went out of her way to also help clean the fish tank. Truly amazing.”
“Victoria was wonderful! I have two cats who are usually very shy around new people, but they were comfortable around her. She took pictures every time she came over, and from the very first day, she had the shy cats interacting and playing with her. She was communicative throughout and took excellent care of things, including giving photo updates on how much they’d eaten. I would definitely book her again in the future.”
“My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Waterman
“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”
“Reanna took wonderful care of my golden while we were having work done at our house. She patiently helped him recover from an upset tummy and provided ample cuddles and outdoor fun! I know he'd love to stay with her again!”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“My puppy had a great time with Naiomi!!! Naiomi sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell my pup was having a great time, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Naiomi. We will totally use her in the future.”

“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”

“I love that Rhonda and her family created a secure and fun back yard for the dogs to play. I also love that the whole family helps with the dogs and that there is usually someone home. It gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog has humans around most of the time. Rhonda's dogs are playful and my dog seemed to be at ease even though she is often fearful of new dogs and new situations.”
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Dara was great ! She took excellent care of Evie and gave her a lot of attention. Dara and her partner are clearly dog lovers and made Evie feel welcome and a bit spoiled in their home. Dara took Evie for a nice walk which she is always excited to do. Hopefully Evie can go back again soon , she had so much fun !”
“My dog Frankie is absolutely obsessed with Mariia and Viktor. They take amazing care of her and are fantastic at communication with me. I can’t recommend them enough!”

“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”
“I was thrilled to find Amanda! She's knowledgeable in the care of dogs and has a huge love for them. My River had the time of his life on his first visit there and he will definitely be a returning customer!”

“Absolutely fabulous. She brought her dog Jimmy and planned to leave him in her car, while she walked my Leo, but I asked her to take Jimmy with Leo if she thought she could handle two big dogs at once. She did. She could. My Leo had a great time and made a new friend. Perfect! The pictures were so adorable.”
“Chance is great, consistent, and our Woogs is very happy with the walks. Fully recommend him as very solid walker, especially for big dogs that like to pull and/or are high energy (ours is ~90 lbs). Our Woogs is looking forward to many more walks with Chance :)”
“Marlene has been very consistent and flexible. I was hesitant to have someone walk my dog. But I can see how my dog gets super excited when, he sees her. She is now walking Iman on a weekly basis. And that gives me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her 💯.”
“Natascha was an amazing rover for Kirk! He enjoyed being walked by her so much, he walked more then the will let me walk him. Very understanding and great with Kirk and his shyness of other dogs!”
“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”
“Amanda accepted the assignment on short notice and communicated well about her availability and expected arrival time. Despite the rainy, cold weather she got Mack out for a long walk and managed his energy well. She clearly has a love of dogs.”
“Sarah has been absolutely amazing with Quattro! Her reliability and genuine love for dogs shines through in everything she does. She maintained perfect communication setting up last minute walks, and brings a energetic attitude and punctuality that makes a huge difference. What truly sets Sarah apart is how she treated Quattro like her own family member, going above and beyond with walks and attention. Her professionalism, combined with her warm personality, made the entire experience stress-free. I could fully relax knowing Quattro was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker.”
About: i grew up with parents that loved reptiles, farm animals, cats and dogs. at a young age i became responsible for feeding, then walking, the older i got, the more responsibilities i had. i’ve owned/ own big and small dogs, and a few crazy cats i’m currently going to school online, and not working. i leave my home to hike daily, or walk the around downtown daily in the mornings to catch the morning sun, and usually around sunset to stretch my legs. i would like to spend more time outside, and being able to help pet owners while getting the exercise i want would be amazing! Unfortunately i rent, so i cannot sit in my home! With my 10+ years of owning and pet sitting experience, home cleaning for my seasonal job, and having OCD…Your home and pet will be well cared for, and treated as my own.
“Bobbi was amazing with Dewey and I felt confident of her character and integrity right from the start! She loved my little guy and helped me out with daily walks when my regular plan fell thru! Thank you, Bobbi! Dewey thanks you too! Robin”
About: I love dogs! I'm happy to reinforce any training as needed. I also love to take dogs on local adventures and walks in the surrounding areas. I'm currently a grad student and will be needing to make some extra money starting next month. I will be on a semi flexible schedule allowing for pet sitting and house sitting. I'm trustworthy and will follow through on any needs expressed. I appreciate clear and direct communication. If a specific request is unclear, I will ask.
“Mary Elizabeth was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates when watching our 12 week old puppy. Would definitely ask her to pet sit again in the future!!”
“Mack loved Abby! And bless her for coming to give me a puppy break on such a rainy, cold day. She took Mack for an extended walk and he came back good and tired. Exactly what was needed today!”
“James has been great. He's personable and knowledgeable. It took a time or two for Freckles to warm up to him because she's pretty shy at first, but now she's excited when she sees him coming and is more than ready to walk.”

She doesn't just love them--she knows how to handle them and is clearly very experienced.”
