Gabrielle says she will "treat your pet like family." She certainly does! She gave our little dog plenty of attention and care, including just hanging out with her during the visits. We highly recommend Gabrielle as a pet sitter, and she also took care of some other chores and made sure our Gekko had water, etc.

Lizz was great! She was very reliable and very professional. You can tell right away that she really has a love of animals. She was very responsible with regards to the instructions we left for our dog Buster. Definitely looking forward to hiring her again soon.

Paulina was amazing! One of our dogs was 2 weeks after cataract surgery with complications for a corneal ulcer so he required 3 rounds of midday eye drops. It was hard nerve-wracking to trust someone in his care but I felt comfortable and fully trusted Paulina after our meet and greet. She took the instructions very seriously, asked great questions, and she communicated her comfort with being able to take care of his medical needs. The dogs loved her and we're so grateful to find someone who we could trust during this particularly demanding dog care time! We'd love to work with Paulina again!

About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I cant remember a time we didn't have at least one dog in our house growing up. I've worked at a local dog wash in the past, and am well-versed in a variety of energy types. Currently, my availability is fairly open; for walks I can be available up until 6pm. I am also open to discussing what works best for you and your schedule as well! I currently don't have any pets in my home, but you can expect that your pups will be responsibly cared for and given lots of love.

We couldn’t be happier with Taylor! From day one, it was clear how much she  genuinely cared about animals. Our dogs absolutely light up every time she arrives which says everything you need to know. She is reliable, professional, and always goes the extra mile—whether it’s making sure our dogs get the perfect amount of exercise, sending updates and photos, or just giving a little extra attention and love. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our pups are in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs, we highly recommend Taylor shes made a huge difference for both us and our Pups

About: I have been looking after other people’s pets since I was about 12. I’ve done daily walks as well as at home stays for weeks on end. I grew up with a verity of animals. I was mostly in charge of the dog walks and chickens. When my family dog was at the end of his life I helped with meds and other things as needed. Im currently a full time student at western but have set up my schedule so I’m done around 1 every day and completely free Tuesday and Thursday. Each pet is different but when watching a dog I usually do a long morning and even walk with a some outside time in the middle.

About: My pet care experience began when I joined a humane society volunteer program where I worked for 6 years and became a shift lead. Later, I worked at a doggy daycare and overnight pet hotel. There I worked with specific dog’s needs and care as well as managed a group of up to 60 free-roaming dogs (yes, it was as amazing as it sounds) I have worked as a pet sitter and dog walker for most of my life, and I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have also worked with horses for most of my life and in the summers I care for horses on a large farm. They are pretty much a bunch of big, funny, puppies. I am formally trained in: -Dog first aide and CPR -Dog, cat, and small animal body language and care -Dog Bathing -Basic obedience training I am currently a recent WWU graduate working a part-time job. Being in my gap year after school, most of my time is flexible and social. I’m looking to fill some of my free time working with cute pets! While I do have a good foundation in general pet care, pet safety, and dog behavior, I prioritize the individual needs of the dog. I may have experience with many pets but no one knows your dog better than you. Care, to me, is about open communication and making sure your pup is happy!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Pete and Cooper! From the moment we left for our vacation, we felt peace knowing they were in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One thing Pete and Cooper absolutely loved was all the time she spent playing fetch with them. It was clear she took the time to give them not only great care but also plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We loved all the photos too!! will definitely hire Sophie again !

I was so happy with Abby as my dog's sitter while I was out of town. She was very professional and thorough in gathering details before the drop in times. And was very communicative during the entire time I was away. I felt assured that my dog was getting the best care. Would happily have her watch Perseus again.

Maddy had the calmest and best vibes; and took my cats on last minute. The updates she gave were detailed and made me feel at ease about leaving them in someone else’s care; I’m super picky! I would not hesitate to book Maddy again next time I go out of town. Pretty sure my cats loved her too, even the shy one. 🖤
