“I cannot brag enough!!! The amount of professionalism and care is top notch. The boys love her, and her communication is amazing, Highly recommend and would provide a reference any time!!!”


About: Keeping pets happy and healthy has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I adopted my chocolate lab Chewie when he was just 5 weeks old and have been loving on him for the last 5 years. I currently live with 5 dogs and care for two, ranging from an 8 year old bit bull mix, to a 1 year old German Shepard mix, a 5 year old Husky, and two 100+lb labs. I go on walks daily and try to give them the best lives possible. Exercise and overall health/wellbeing are all strong passions of mine as well. I try to walk at least an hour every day. If I can help other families by taking their pets out for walks or spending one on one time, then that is a win win for me. I am currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible. It is important to me that pets get optimal attention and love which is exactly what I provide for my own dogs, as well as others when they are under my care.

About: This is my first time trying to get into professional pet care, however, I have spent my entire life living with and taking care of pets. There hasn’t been a single moment where I have lived without cats or a dog in my home. I absolutely love getting to spend time with these animals as I find their companionship to be so rewarding. I find many animals seem to enjoy my own company, whether it’s due to my calm nature or inability to refuse petting them if they ask for it! I have no special skills to report, but I will say that I am happy to learn all there is about your furry best friend(s) to make sure you, and more importantly, they, are comfortable and happy. I’m currently available any day of the week to take care of your pets! No time is a bad time for me, unless it is very late in the day. I will care for your pets in your home by following any instructions you have given me for their safety and care and always keep an eye and ear on them. If I am taking your dog on a walk, I will make sure we stay clear of any visible signs of safety hazards and confrontation with other dogs/people.

“Cami went above and beyond!!! She was scheduled for a 30min walk with Cujo but since it was a nice day, she offered to take him for a much longer walk and my pup came home tired and very happy. Highly recommend and will book with Cami again!”


“Erin is very professional and has excellent communication skills. She truly cares for animals and it shows in how she conducts business. I highly recommend Erin and will use her services anytime.”


About: Hi there, We’re Leigh & Luke — experienced, reliable, and animal-loving sitters. With 15+ years of combined experience in private homes as a nanny, household manager, newborn care specialist, and owner of a domestic staffing agency, I (Leigh) have had the joy of caring for more than just children—pets and entire households have always been a big part of my work. My partner Luke and I are calm, patient, and easygoing — animals naturally seem drawn to us (neighborhood cats often join us on our evening walks!). We deeply understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Luke has a true green thumb—at one point, he cared for his own 28 thriving houseplants—and he’s tended to some truly beautiful gardens. Together, we take great pride in being respectful, responsible, and thoughtful guests in every home we enter. In addition to his love of nature, Luke is a creative professional who owns a production company and works as a documentary filmmaker. We work remotely and have flexible schedules, allowing us to commit to sits across the U.S. but preferably in the PNW and California. Since we travel without children or pets, we can easily adapt to new environments and give your pets our full attention. With years of experience caring for private homes, I understand the importance of arriving with a calm, grounded presence—something pets instinctively respond to. We genuinely love connecting with new people and their animals, and we’re fully vetted and background checked through TrustedHousesitters. It would be an honor to care for your home and your beloved pets with the same attention and affection we’d give our own. Please note that while we are new on here we are happy to share our reviews from Trusted HouseSitters with you as we have been active on there longer. We work remotely and have flexible schedules, allowing us to commit to sits across the U.S. and internationally. Since we travel without children or pets, we can easily adapt to new environments and give your pets our full attention. Our preference is overnight in home care for 3+ days with flexibility for upwards of 1+months. We care for pets in our clients’ homes with the same presence, mindfulness, and affection we’d give our own. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, garden care, or quiet companionship, we take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality. We’re calm, observant, and intentional—animals often seem to relax around us naturally. Luke and I work remotely and without children or pets of our own, which allows us to give each home and every animal our full attention. We show up as thoughtful, low-impact guests who respect your space, your privacy, and your pet’s well-being. From cuddles to houseplant care, we handle the little details so you can travel with peace of mind.

About: I grew up with many different types of animals as pets, the dogs I grew up with were huskies so I can definitely handle those high energy working breeds! Have helped raise multiple litters of puppies ranging from little breeds to big breeds! There’s no pup I won’t pet! I have a pretty open schedule, any day of the week works for me, I am in college but I do it online! I am open to working any day of the week at any time! I have a big back yard that is all fenced! I have small to large kennels if needed! I do have my own dog, he is a border collie husky mix that can keep your fur baby company and tucker them out from playing in the yard!

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life—caring for them isn’t just second nature, it’s something I truly love. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve spent years helping out neighbors by watching their pets while they were away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being a calm and comforting presence, I bring attentiveness and compassion to every pet I care for. Recently, I lost my soul dog, and while I’m not quite ready to adopt again, spending time with other people’s pets fills my heart in a way that’s hard to describe. I understand how much pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I gave my own. What sets me apart is my deep emotional connection to animals, my reliability, and my ability to pick up on each pet’s unique needs. I don’t just watch your pet—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am currently going to school full time at WSU completely online. Other than that, I am not working right now so this gives me the opportunity to have a lot of free time! I can complete my school work from anywhere with my laptop. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and creating a safe, loving space for them is something I take seriously. I live on 10 acres of private property, giving your dog plenty of room to explore in a peaceful, secure environment. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I care for each dog as if they were my own—offering calm companionship, routine, and individualized attention. I can easily accommodate crate-trained pups or provide a cozy space for rest, and I always follow your preferences to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: My childhood dream was always to be a Veterinarian and to work with animals. I now have over 15 years of veterinary and animal shelter/foster care experience. I love animals of all types and sizes! From small pocket critters: birds, rabbits, lizards, and snakes, to cats, dogs, pigs, cows, horses and so many more! I own my own business as an American Sign Language Interpreter, I am Deaf, Deaf-Blind and Hard of Hearing friendly :) I have an open and flexibile schedule for all of your pet care needs. With past grooming and medical care experience I can help with any special needs loved ones have and offer lots of extra services such as: administering medications (pills, ointments, injections) baths, brushing, nail trims, cleaning ears, anal glands, brushing teeth etc. I'm very comfortable with young that need bottle feedings, medically ill and our very loved seniors and geriatric family members. My family is big! Consisting of 2 cats (a black domestic boy, Zoe,16 years old and a mixed snow shoe/ragdoll, Sid, is 12) and 2 dogs (a Bull Mastiff, Sage, is almost 9 years old and a year old mastiff puppy names Stella Beam). We've recently lost our 16 year old tabby, Suka, and our 11 year old German shepherd, Copper in the last 2 years. I live with my wife and our daughter in Vancouver, WA and have the ability, time and equipment to travel bothbsides of the river. I look foward to meeting and working with you and your pack! My best, Kimberly I free lance for myself and have open and flexible availability and scheduling. I’m also able to travel farther than most, up to 50 miles radius if needed. I will tend to your pets as if they were mine. Giving them the best care I can, following your directions and routines and creating a safe and cozy environment to reduce stress and amplify play!

About: I've had pets (cats and dogs) since I was a small child. I love all pets and will care for yours as if they were my own. I know how to handle small and large dogs. I'm a mother of 6 children, 3 are all grown and out of the home. I love to be outdoors and don't mind walking and playing in the rain/snow. I live in Castle Rock on 2 acres with a private lake. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby. Please feel free to ask any questions. I'm pretty much available 24 hours a day and very flexible with my schedule. I look forward to hearing from you! I dedicate my time to caring for each pet with patience and love! There's lots to do on the property; running, swimming, chasing butterflies. Whatever your pet enjoys doing, I will accommodate. It's private, secure and safe. I have recently added a small fenced area. I do have several runner leashes (20ft - 40 ft) that are secured into the ground for those pets who like to wander off. I think it's important to be flexible for each client and your pets needs. I'm happy to accommodate and customize my daily routine in order to make your pets experience here the best!

About: I watch dogs, cats, and exotics! If you have exotics needing boarding please contact me and we can discuss! I have taken care of animals of all kinds my whole life, including exotics! I grew up raising and educating others on hedgehogs, sugar gliders, rabbits, and more. I still currently have and raise rabbits and hedgehogs. My fiancé and I currently have 9 dogs of our own. There are three fixed male French Bulldogs that are indoors and six malamutes that stay outdoors. None of the boarded fur babies will have close interactions with ours. I grew up around giant dogs so animals of all sizes are amazing to me! I have experience in everything except grooming (I do baths and nails though!). I always have extra dog things from toys, bowls, kennels, food, (etc) to basic first aid supplies to accommodate everyone! I know just how stressful it can be to have a trip planned or run across an emergency and need a quick placement for your fur baby! Every animal is different and whether that means you have a reactive or super shy baby don’t that stop you from sending me a message! Everyone deserves time away for a bit and knowing their babies are well loved for while you’re away 🐾❤️ I have a huge love for animals and I’m always looking forward to helping the communities surrounding me! I just need food supplied as I believe in keeping diet constant. Everything else can totally be on me! Dogs are welcome to any part of the house and all the animal things we have around! I even have kennels of all sizes if needed. I’m willing to give any type of medication as well. I will also watch anxious/high anxiety pets (I understand the struggle!). Always flexible! The backyard is fully fenced but we keep all our boarded babies on secure leashes just to be safe when we’re outside. I can provide walks/hikes as needed. Everything is and always stays secured.

About: I’ve worked with cats and dogs from all walks of life. I have a wide range of experience from working for an amazing rescue called Canine Connections and personal experience. Canine Connections rescue is a program within the Washington state juvenile institution that teaches the juvenile residents how to care for and work with cats and dogs. I was an employee and ran this program within the juvenile institution. We would take in puppies/dogs from local humane societies to train them generalized life skills, walking skills, and take complete care of multiple dogs at one time. We worked with dogs of all different sizes, ages, and breeds so during the training it was important to determine target behavior that the individual dogs would need to succeed in their future furever home. The puppies/dogs would be posted for adoption once they’ve gone through the program and training. I have experience with all types of handling equipment (front/back harnesses, gentle leader, prong, etc.), walking skills/basic obedience training, and the everyday care of dogs who are timid with people and/or other animals to very excited and distracted dogs. We trained dogs with positive reinforcement, which includes a lot of patience and treats, and taking the time to learn what the dogs strengths and weaknesses are to be successful. We also had a program that socialized and cared for cats and kittens while they waited to be adopted. I realized that I have a passion for working with animals, and I would love to continue in this field since I recently moved to this area for my new chapter in life. My friends and family have come to me over the years to assist with problem behaviors and care for their pets. I have 3 dogs of my own that are apart of my family, they are 2 pugs and a Newfoundland so I have years of personal experience working with small and large dogs. I hope you choose me to assist with the care of your furry loved one, and become someone you can trust to enhance your animals life and give the care that our animals deserve. I am available every day of the week and have a flexible schedule to make what works best for you and your pet. I have a lot of experience working with my own dogs and in a kennel that requires 24/7 care. I can provide care by providing activities of physical and mental exercises inside and outside the home to basic care of feeding and letting out to go to the bathroom. I am experienced with walking and training dogs, and I also love to just hang out with an animal for their entertainment (if you find yourself talking to your pet like a human then I’m the perfect person for you - I’m pretty sure my pups can understand everything I say to them & they talk back in their own way). I have dealt with animals who eat anything that’s up for grabs to a very specific diet. I understand the importance of routine for our animals and will respect what you need for your pet. For special care - If you need to make a very detailed list I would love for you to share with me and know it will be followed. I am comfortable and familiar with oral medications from puppies/dogs at the rescue I worked at and dogs of my own. My pugs are higher maintenance so I am familiar with medications administered by mouth, ears, and eyes. I also love to brush and maintain animals fur/coats, it is really a good way to bond if your animal is comfortable with it. I am currently going through a grooming course, and I have experience of my own from my personal dogs and working with puppies/dogs at the rescue. This includes working with animals that do not like or are new to grooming. I am mainly experienced with simple brushing and bathing, so I will stick to that level for now and I hope to be a groomer in the future once I’ve gone through my course and gained experience. You don’t have to worry about coming home to a fresh bob cut on your pet, luckily I have dogs of my own to practice on for now! If you would like me to brush out your dog and bathe them then let me know!

I am experienced with walking and training dogs, and I also love to just hang out with an animal for their entertainment (if you find yourself talking to your pet like a human then I’m the perfect person for you - I’m pretty sure my pups can understand everything I say to them & they talk back in their own way). I have dealt with animals who eat anything that’s up for grabs to a very specific diet. I understand the importance of routine for our animals and will respect what you need for your pet. For special care - If you need to make a very detailed list I would love for you to share with me and know it will be followed. I am comfortable and familiar with oral medications from puppies/dogs at the rescue I worked at and dogs of my own. My pugs are higher maintenance so I am familiar with medications administered by mouth, ears, and eyes. I also love to brush and maintain animals fur/coats, it is really a good way to bond if your animal is comfortable with it. I am currently going through a grooming course, and I have experience of my own from my personal dogs and working with puppies/dogs at the rescue. This includes working with animals that do not like or are new to grooming. I am mainly experienced with simple brushing and bathing, so I will stick to that level for now and I hope to be a groomer in the future once I’ve gone through my course and gained experience. You don’t have to worry about coming home to a fresh bob cut on your pet, luckily I have dogs of my own to practice on for now! If you would like me to brush out your dog and bathe them then let me know!


Jenny H.
“Jenny has been a dedicated dog enthusiast ever since I’ve known her. She takes her dog (or occasionally dogs) everywhere with here. She even lived in Alaska for several years so she could care and train sled dogs. Her present dog (Hatchi) is a rescue dog which was so traumatized it took her months before she would come into her house. Hatchi was very lucky to find Jenny. Jenny’s patience and dedication gave Hata new life.”
