About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppies, so I understand both the fun and responsibility that come with caring for pets. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs, young and energetic dogs, and dogs who need a little patience while they get comfortable with a new person. I have experience with everything from puppy energy and leash manners to post-surgery care. I know that every dog has their own quirks, preferences, and rules, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely rather than assuming what works for my dogs will work for yours. I’m also a physician assistant; being dependable, detail-oriented, observant, and calm in unexpected situations comes naturally to me. While my medical background is human rather than veterinary, I’m comfortable following detailed medication or care instructions and paying attention to changes in behavior or condition that may need to be brought to an owner’s attention. Most importantly, I treat pets as members of the household rather than a chore to check off a list. I want your dog to get the exercise, attention, affection, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule which gives me plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I can often be flexible with timing depending on your pet’s usual routine. I’m currently taking a couple online courses finishing my doctorate, so most of my schedule can be arranged around pet-care commitments. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, medications, crating, and any household-specific instructions. I know many pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I’m careful to respect both their routine and your home. For pets staying with me, I have a fenced yard on an acre of land at a dead end quiet street. I have 2 friendly, higher-energy dogs of my own; I would always want to make sure personalities and play styles are a good fit before having dogs spend extended time together, and I’m comfortable using crates or separate spaces when needed. I pay close attention to secure doors and gates, leash safety, feeding instructions, interactions between pets, and any behavioral or medical concerns you let me know about. My goal is to keep things calm, safe, and as consistent with your pet’s normal routine as possible.

“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”

“My dog loves Janette! She’s always on time- very reliable. I will keep re-booking with her because she’s been so great.”

About: A responsible, caring, and very communicative sitter currently offering house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking. I’m here to give your best friends all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! My genuine affection for animals means that I will provide attentive and passionate pet care. I connect with your pets on their level, respecting their boundaries and appreciating their different personalities. I’ve happily bonded with picky cats, soothed anxious pups and assisted animals with special needs. I provide you with the consistent and continuous communication you need to feel at ease while you’re away. You can expect detailed daily updates with plenty of photos and fast response times! I grew up in an animal loving household where I cared for animals from a young age. It’s important to me that all animals are treated with respect and kindness, and I’m excited to share that love with your pets! Your pets happiness is the most important thing to me and its crucial that I get a chance to meet them to make sure we’re a good fit! Meet and greets are a must before booking! I work nights on the weekends so I am only available for care during the day but weekdays are mostly free! I am student so during the school year I might have in person classes but this December I will be off for winter break! Along with keeping your pet happy, I will ensure they are safe and well cared for. I treat all pets as if they were my own! I currently don’t offer boarding but while I’m in your home you can expect a quiet, clean, and considerate sitter. I will make sure to respect the boundaries of anxious pets and give the cuddle bugs all the hugs and pets! In case of emergencies, please provide me with updated vet information. Your pets safety is a priority!

“Michael has been great with walking our dog mid-day during the week! It is great knowing our dog gets some exercise and companionship when we are at work. Plus, we come home to a happy, tired dog. Thank you!!”

About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.

“Meredith is so loving and caring. She is understanding of my older dog Luna’s needs and provides just the right amount of TLC. She communicates with me after every walk and sends a picture. I hate being away from my pup, but I’m more at ease knowing that Meredith will be there.”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.

“Katherine was an excellent and communicative walker! Thanks so much!!”

“Audrey looks out for the details when caring for our dogs. Amid freezing weather, we forgot to leave out the dog’s winter jackets, but she knew where they were in the garage and added them for the walk.”

About: I have experience caring for pets of various ages and temperaments, which has prepared me to confidently manage a wide range of situations and provide dependable support in times of need! As a full time Kinesiology student at Western Washington University, I build pet care into my daily and weekly routine just like I do with my classes and training. My rhythm is structured and organized, which allows me to reliably set aside time for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. Being active and studying movement also makes spending time with pets a natural fit—I enjoy incorporating exercise, outdoor activity, and consistency into their care while balancing my academic responsibilities. In my clients home I will make sure to foster a safe, comforting, and attentive environment for their furry companion such as being conscientious of potty breaks, crate time, and playtime!

About: I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, parakeets, a baby duck and a baby bunny. I've always had animals, until I lost my last one less than a year ago. I crave animal companionship. I'm the person my friends call to look after their animals and homes. I need animal time! I also enjoy traveling and being in new spaces, so I'm willing to house sit as well. I like to walk every day, so I'm looking for canine companions! I can easily zip around town for visits. I am flexible about changes. I enjoy the variety of house-sitting and pet-sitting. I like to leave a place better than I found it. Every pet parent has a different philosophy, so I am happy to snuggle in bed or provide discipline, whichever is requested.

About: I have babysat many of my friends pets. I like to take them on walks because not only do they get their exercise I also get mine. I like to play with them and see them be joyful causing me to smile. My parents also own a dog breeding business and as a kid I would help them also so I know quite about dogs (puppies). Hi! I’m a professional caregiver with experience caring for disabled adults and geriatric patients. My work has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attentiveness, and treating every individual with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. I’m also currently pursuing my law degree, and while my career goals are important to me, caring for animals brings me a completely different kind of happiness and joy. I genuinely love being around pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help!

I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also keep their space clean and make sure they receive plenty of companionship and attention. My professional caregiving experience with disabled adults and geriatric patients has taught me to be observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I've had animals my entire life - dogs, cats, and hamsters. I have also nannied for a lot of families with dogs and cats. I've done vet visits, administered medications, and regularly help care for my brother's aussie shepherd. I'm knowledgeable, responsible, friendly, and love animals.

I'm currently looking for work (I work in social services and mental health care) after moving back to Bellingham from Seattle. I miss my friends' pets! I have a 17 year old senior cat who loves his own space and unfortunately would not appreciate me bringing animals home to his space. I have had him since he was ten weeks old!

About: I have a large dog and cat currently, I have experience with all ages and sizes of both animals. I am very particular with who I trust with my animals and extend that same care when caring for others animals. Pet care fits well into my daily routine.

This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, or other pet care needs throughout the day. I have both a cat and a dog at home, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or clean litter, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention.
