House Sitting in Vashon

About: Hello there! I’ve worked almost 4 years at a local animal rescue and have tons of experience caring for many different dogs (and cats) with varying ages, temperaments, personalities, and needs. I love them all! And almost always, they end up loving me! For 2 yrs I’ve been apart of a professional animal behavioral team that works with a certified trainer and behavioralist assessing some of our rescue’s more misunderstood dogs. Having a vet clinic at our rescue, I have plenty of experience medicating both dogs and cats. And caring for animals with special needs. I understand that our pets are our family and I treat every animal with total unconditional love and respect. I’ve had my dog for 8 yrs and she’s my everything.

“Katielee was a fantastic dog sitter. She accepted the sitting opportunity even though it was only a couple days away. She took great care of our animals and our home. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Jess was amazing! She was able to watch our dog, Dazey, and cat, Criminal, last minute while another option had fallen through. She came by our house the day before tp talk details and I could immediately tell that the pets would love her. She left the house in impecable condition and updated us on what was going on at home. I would absolutely ask Jess to watch our pets again if she's available!”

About: Hi, I'm Julia! Caring for and connecting with animals is a life passion and purpose of mine. I crave animal companionship but don’t have any pets of my own, so I’d love to care for yours. I adore and am confident caring for all kinds of creatures…and they love me, too! I have tons of experience with big dogs, puppies, anxious dogs, disabled animals, and all types of cat personalities. Even goats, horses, cows, rabbits, reptiles, and rodents all become my friends! I’m a big hiker/runner/outdoors-woman, and would love to take your doggo on hikes or long walks. Got an athletic pup who needs a good run during the day? I've got you! A small pup who just needs cuddles and company? I'm game! I can't wait to meet and care for your beloved fur friends. My schedule is very flexible. I’m frequently outside hiking and running, and would love bring your dog along, or I’m happy to hang in the backyard…or on the couch! I can care for your animals however they need to be tended to. I usually to keep a new animal friends within eyesight at all times, unless they are napping.

About: Since being on my own, I have had some fur baby in my life. Both puppies and elders will be well loved here. We have a deep relationship with our own animals. All are fully vaccinated and attend their annual health checks. We also love on them when they ask us to, meeting their mental health needs as well. Husband is still working from home with no return to the office in sight. And we are a currently a multi-generational home. There will always be some human here to care for your furry family member. We have a huge, secure, fenced backyard and two dogs of our own. Your pup will be well exercised here and will come home exhausted (and maybe a little dirty). We also love cuddling with our fur babies, and will welcome any (reasonably sized) dogs onto our bed if that is where they feel comfortable, or we have room for a crate or any dog bed you want to bring. We feed our pooches 3x a day. But we find that most guests have a 2x per day routine, and will continue to hold your home routine. We also give oral medication to one of our pups, once a day.

About: My love for animals started when I was a little girl. Animals have always been my go to for happiness comfort and love. Meeting new animals always brings me joy. I understand the trust and responsibility that comes with taking care of someone's fur babies. I'm an open book I'm currently going to school online so I have a completely flexible schedule and can't wait for this new venture in my life I prefer not to care for animals in my own home. I have an older relative that's very particular about his house and doesn't allow pets

About: From taking care of cats, dogs, horses, snakes, rats, ducks my whole life has been about animals!! With my family owning a boarding facility and working there since I can remember to caring for my own, I have built up a lifetime of experience ready to be used! From puppies to oldies, giant or small and everything inbetween I can work with all! I currently work at a boarding facility for my family and have the liberty to make house calls when needed, as well as after work and weekends! Emotional and physical care for any pet are both equally important! Safety for your pet and my self are always my first priority and trump any thing else, every pet also deserves to be and feel loved! I take my time speaking with comforting and ensuring a pets safety anytime I am with them!

“Ella is great with my pup! She responds quickly and has agreed even at the last minute to help watch her. She sends lots of photos and keeps her engaged throughout the stay. Will continue to book with her :))”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since childhood. I've always enjoyed walking the family dog and sitting with the family cat. I've also checked on my neighbors pets while they're out of town and volunteered at the local shelter while growing up. At the moment I do not have a job so my schedule is wide open. If I happen to find employment I will make sure I have time in the mornings or afternoons to care for your pet Currently I do not have a big enough living space to host, but I have no problem commuting across the city to spend time with your pet.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 8 years old, and I truly love animals of all kinds, big dogs, small dogs, energetic puppies, senior pets, and cats with every personality imaginable. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love, and that’s exactly what I provide. As a college student who takes classes online, I’m home most of the day, which means your pet will receive constant supervision, companionship, and attention. They will never feel ignored or left alone for long periods. I provide multiple walks each day, plenty of playtime, and a calm, safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I also send frequent photo and message updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away, almost like your pet never left your side. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention for pets throughout the day. I attend church on Sunday mornings but return shortly after, so pets are never left alone for long. I’m available for boarding most days and offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and convenience. What to expect: Your pet will stay in a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and explore. We have a securely gated two-acre property with a private trail in the backyard and lots of grassy areas where pets can run, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors safely under supervision. My goal is to give pets a fun, active, and loving stay while making owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. Your pet will be very safe because I only let them free range run when I close the gate so they can’t run too far and I’ll have perfect view of them.

About: I grew up with animals all my life! Dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc. Your fur babies will be in good hands, let me take care of them 🥰 I’m currently working part-time! The 3-4 days a week I do work it’s between 9:30-3:30. I definitely have enough time in the day whether I’m working or not to come take care of your pets! :) I know everyone has different ways of caring for their fur babies, so just let me know your preferences and I’ll accommodate them! I do have 2 cats, so if your pet needs to stay at our home, I just ask that they are pet friendly or atleast can tolerate cats so my child is comfortable as well.

“Gabriel and Nikki were great! They gave Khya tons of exercise and left our house in excellent shape. They are very quick to respond and sent lots of photos.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

“Jakob is great with our dogs and respectful of our home.”
