Cat Sitting Van Zandt

“Just what we needed. Great pet sitter. We needed to spend the day away from the house and everything went as planned. The photos and updates were a reassuring touch.”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones. Right now, I am home from college in Seattle for the summer. I am currently taking bookings for any day of the week and at any time! Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to take pets on walks/potty breaks as often as needed. I always make an effort to tidy up toys or the home in general before leaving and I am very comfortable crating/feeding/playing with dogs of any size.

About: Years ago my Mother gave me a card. It said, “The more I know men the more I love my dog.” My family has always had dogs and cats too. Once having a discussion with my guy he said, “even the dog ranks higher than me!” A dog is more than a pet. They are a companion who loves unconditionally. Who is ready to play or not. Will always listen and never rejects a belly rub. I genuinely prefer canines over people. Recently read the book “Dog Sense.” There is so much more about these wonderful creatures that it should be required reading before anyone takes on the responsibility of owning a companion. I will give your family member the respect and genuine kindness it deserves. Thank you for your consideration.

“Lizz is amazing; she took this booking last minute and had plenty of time to meet Kade twice before the booking to make sure he warmed up to her. She was so nice and patient with Kade and it looks like they had a great time! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve regularly helped friends, neighbors, and family members with pet sitting and dog walking. I understand how important routines, safety, and communication are, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am available at anytime during the day and evening but the best is to let me know your desired hours and I will check my schedule. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. My goal is to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

“Sophia was very attentive to the needs of my anxious and senior pups. She is great with communication, in time visits and sharing updates with photos. I highly recommend Sophia. Your pets will be in great hands!”

“Loren did an amazing job watching our three kitties. He listened to our instructions and we came home to happy, healthy babies! Will definitely rebook and recommend his services to others.”

About: I will take exceptional care of your pets as animals are my favorite thing in the world. When people ask me what my "passion" is, the only thing that comes to mind is caring for animals. I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I grew up with 4 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 cats, 2 hamsters, and a bunch of fish. I care so much about animals and their well-being that I will do just about anything for them. Friends, family, and acquaintances have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I have done multiple pet sitting gigs, and have even been a reliable farm sitter. I am active and I love being outside. I will run/exercise with your dogs if desired! I am currently transitioning to part-time work, so I will have plenty of time to play with/walk/run your pets! I am free after 5:00 pm and have breaks during the day. I am also available on weekends. I am happy to work something out with you as my schedule is flexible. I am not able to house animals at my house at this time but I am more than happy to watch them at yours! I am a trustworthy pet/house sitter and will follow the rules at your house and clean up after myself and the pets :)

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with lots of experience staying active and attentive — which makes me great with high-energy dogs and pets who need consistent care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I keep a flexible schedule, so I’m able to prioritize walks, feeding, and check-ins consistently. I make sure each pet gets reliable care and attention without rushing. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and familiar for the pet as possible. I stick to their feeding schedule, provide walks, playtime, and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep the space clean and respectful. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease.

“Marion was very responsive, competent, and reliable! I had a great experience hiring her to walk my dog while on vacation visiting Mt. Baker. I only reached out a few days ahead, but she was flexible and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs, a rabbit, and a guinea pig. As a professional pet sitter, I will give your pets my full attention and communicate clearly with you throughout. I know how scary it can be as a pet owner hiring a sitter, and I pride myself on being trustworthy and dependable! Most of my professional experience is as a nanny and working with individuals with disabilities, and I bring , empathy, and care to each of my roles. Outside of work, I love getting outside (and walking your pups!), crafting, and cooking! :) I currently nanny part time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with most shifts being about 6 hrs. Otherwise I am open for pet bookings at all other times! I am comfortable with harnesses, collars, and different leash styles, as well as crates. I am respectful of each home I work in, loving towards each pet, and will communicate with you throughout.

“Gillian met our pets for a Meet n Greet today. Doggo melted at the sight of her, showed her all the best toys and can't wait for her next visit. Looking forward to it!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs. I gained hands on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. My goal through out my time with your pet is making sure they feel safe, supported, and loved during the time their people are away. I am currently working part time and have plenty of free time during my summer break from school. I love connecting with animals and would love to include your pet into my daily schedule. I make sure that each pet is cared for in their own special way. Making sure I am following their routine to ensure they feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and seen while their people are away.

About: Reliable, trustworthy, and warm-hearted pet sitter experienced with animals of all personalities. I provide loving, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while owners are away I’m a current student at WWU, majoring in Recreation Management & Leadership. I am able to be available M-TH anytime after 3:30 until June & then summer starts & my schedule clears up! Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m available all day everyday!! We have a fenced yard & live just a short walk away from Whatcom Falls park & Bloedel Donovan so your pup is sure to have some good walks!!!

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.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, and I recently moved to the Bellingham area after spending a little over a year working on the Animal Care Team and as the Social Media Coordinator for Underdog Animal Rescue & Rehab, a nonprofit organization based out of Moab, UT. I am very used to animal care, regardless of the temperament or medical needs of the animal! I have my own form of transportation, and am happy to care for your dog! I only recently moved to the Bellingham area and am currently seeking regular employment, while also working to build a client-base for animal care here on Rover! I cannot take pets into my home as I live in a small studio and am not permitted to have animals other than my own in the space. My dog Pip (small white dog with big ears in my photos) is a very sweet girl who gets along well with other animals, although she can be a bit sassy at first (she’s little, so she makes a point to let other dogs know not to mess with her)! Pip gets a daily walk, either around the property where we rent, in town, or out in nature on a hike! I would be happy to bring your dog(s) along, as long as they d well with other dogs, and are trained on or off leash. I am a bit fan of crate training, but understand that every dog is different and that crates aren’t always the best way for some! Whatever your preference is, I am happy to follow it as long as it is within my moral boundaries!

About: I come from a large family of both human and fur babies (even a few scaly babies!). Our pets aren't just pets, they are extensions of our family, each one with their own quirks and personalities. I am blessed to have experiences with so many different animals and the pleasure of getting to know each one as an individual. Love will always win and every creature deserves all the love I can give even if it's short term. I just relocated back to WA after a few years of being in the Midwest. Currently I am spending time with family and helping my elderly parents with various tasks. My schedule is very flexible and am I am able to accommodate almost any schedule at the moment! I currently live with family that do not have a fenced yard, however, I have 2 pups of my own (a 1.5 year old golden doodle and a 8 month Goldie) that I regularly take on walks to on-leash parks as well as official dog parks so they can run wild! My family member also has a 7 year old Aussie but he kinda does his own thing. If your pup needs to be housed with me, I can guarantee there will be multiple walks a day and possibly a hike (big hiker).

About: Throughout high school I spent a lot of time walking my neighbors’ dogs, including some senior dogs and younger pups, and even dog sat a couple of times. As well as occasionally watching my aunt’s 3 dogs and 2 cats for about a week at a time. I do work part time as a closing server, as well as attending college classes at Pierce. My schedule can be flexible so don’t be afraid to reach out to me and I’ll let you know if I can help out! I grew up around both big and small dogs, and I’ve watched family members cats growing up. I can accommodate any rules/request while caring for your pets!

About: Hi there, I've been sitting for family and friends for a long time now and figured some other furry friends could use some company while their humans are away. Dogs and cats can have very different personalities, and I act accordingly for their needs and temperaments. If we need to go for a 5 mile run, so be it. If we just need to cuddle, I've got that down too. I have 3 shepherds of my own who are amazing but high energy, so I'm used to working those guys out. I also have grooming tools for any pup or cat that needs a good fresh coat and nails. I am also able to take your dog out to a 4 acre property that is fenced so they can be a free range dog for a bit

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!
