Pet Sitting Woodland

About: Hi, I’m Kelley! I’m a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My journey started early. I began working at a veterinary office at just 15 years old as a kennel technician and assistant, where I built a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. From there, I expanded into training and spent 5 years in Hawaii working as a private contracted dog trainer, gaining extensive experience with a wide range of dogs and client needs. I mainly train basic to advanced obedience and service dog training but also have experience with training hunting/bird dogs and protection work. In 2020, I founded my own dog training business in Oregon, where I now provide customized, results-driven training programs. I work with dogs weekly through private sessions, as well as structured board-and-train programs. I also travel locally and to surrounding areas to support clients and ensure training carries over into real-life environments. I recently moved up to the WA side in Kalama. My property is fully set up with dogs in mind. I have a secure, fully fenced yard and dedicated training areas equipped with a wide variety of professional training tools. Dogs in my care receive structured training, enrichment, and appropriate socialization based on their individual temperament, goals, and needs. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, behavior modification, or a safe and structured place to stay while you’re away, I provide a reliable, experienced, and attentive approach to their care. I treat every dog like my own, focusing on building confidence, clear communication, and lasting results. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I run my dog training business full-time. My days are structured around the dogs in my care, including scheduled training sessions, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. Each dog follows a consistent routine that’s tailored to their individual needs-this can include structured walks, obedience training, socialization (when appropriate), and downtime to ensure they’re not overstimulated. Because I work from home and on my property, I’m able to provide constant supervision and hands-on care throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I rotate between private training sessions, board-and-train dogs, and client visits, so I’m always actively working with dogs in a structured and intentional way. This setup allows me to give each dog consistent attention, routine, and progress while they’re in my care. Care varies depending on the service, but all pets receive structured, attentive, and individualized care. In my home, dogs follow a consistent daily routine that includes exercise, training, enrichment, and rest. Because of my background as a professional trainer, I incorporate structure and clear communication into everything I do—whether that’s reinforcing good manners, working on specific training goals, or simply maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and are always supervised. Socialization is thoughtfully managed based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For board-and-train dogs, their stay includes daily hands-on training sessions tailored to their specific goals, along with structured routines that help build reliability and confidence. In clients’ homes, I aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible to reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any household rules the dog is used to. I also reinforce any training the owner is working on to maintain consistency. Across all services, my priority is safety, clear communication, and making sure each dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for.

“Krystal was amazing and we highly recommend her! We booked her for drop in visits with our two cats and she took lots of photos and was very descriptive with her rover cards. She went above and beyond with their food, water, and even brought catnip bubbles that our cat loved!”

Austin M.

“Kayla was kind, timely and had two great drop ins for us. Our girls loved her and look forward to seeing her again.”

Josie B.

“Hannah was great! I booked her at the last minute when my other sitter got ill. She came on time and was flexible when my event ran a little late. She was extremely responsible and seemed quite detail oriented. She and Pancake got along great and she engaged in Pancake’s favorite activity—chasing the ball! Would definitely book her again!”

Shawin K.

“I am very glad we booked Tanaisa to check in on our cats while we were out of town. She was dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can tell she is an animal lover based in the feedback and photos she provided me with daily. We will absolutely book with her again next time we need help with our pets.”

Jill T.

“Jennifer did a fantastic job watching my cat, Theo, while I was away for a work trip. She went above and beyond—not just taking care of the basics, but making sure to spend quality time playing and socializing with him so he stayed happy and engaged. I had total peace of mind the entire time I was gone. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future travel!”

About: I've taken care of many pets of all ages, such as friends & families, & pets of my own. I know how to be their support companion. I'm available: All Sundays & Tuesdays all day, and in the afternoon to evenings Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Not available: Fridays and Saturdays. Mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday I give my pets a lot of love & care. I let my puppy get his energy out. I remember to give my cat her snuggle time. I make sure both water bowls are always full & they have food (depending if it's feeding time or not). I'm always looking for throw up/hair balls & poop/pee to clean up.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve. I currently work from home and have a very flexible. schedule all throughout the weekdays and weekends so your pets will be cared for during their entire stay. I also do not leave our own pets unattended for more than a couple hours so the same can be expected for yours as well. Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.

About: I have had pets my entire life from basenjis to a Great Pyrenees malamute, and two large tabby cats. Ive also had puppies as young as a day old and a dog as old as 14. I am a full time college student and I work part time so weekends are best during school but on breaks I have lots of availability. I have many animals of my own so I prefer to pet sit at your own house. I have five pets at home 2 cats and three dogs.

“We are grateful to know that Alisha is available to provide care when we are away. We actually planned our last away day around her availability. So great to not have to worry about our dogs when we are away.”

Judy W.

“Leslie has watched our dog many times and does a fantastic job every time. We get lots of pictures when she stops by, and would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether it’s walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. **Before sending a request:** I’d love for you to take a quick look through my full profile so you have a good idea of my services, schedule, and approach to pet care. This helps make sure we’re a good fit before setting up a meet & greet! 😊 Since I work a full time job from home, I have a flexible schedule and am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs throughout the day. Routine comes easy for me, and my work schedule makes it easy to adapt to whatever you need for your pet. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3 dogs!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! **House Sitting Info:** I’m happy to provide house sitting with daytime care and spend as much time as needed with your pets throughout the day, including extended visits and multiple days in a row. My standard house sitting schedule does not include overnight stays, but I may make exceptions on a case by case basis when the circumstances are a good fit. I’ll discuss this with you during the meet & greet and consider factors such as your pets’ needs and schedule, the distance from my home, and my family’s schedule at the time of the booking. If I’m not staying overnight, I’ll typically spend the day with your pets and head home around 9:30–10 PM, returning around 7 AM the following morning. I’m happy to spend as much time as needed during the day to provide plenty of quality time, attention, and care while you’re away, and I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and your home well cared for!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was at least 7, my family's and others. I absolutely love animals and love to see them happy and having a good time. I am able to walk, do a bit of training, feed, and bathe the pets if needed. My experience is more cats and dogs, however I have taken care of bearded dragons, snakes, and others. I am currently not working and have all the time in the world to help you relax and know your pets and or house is taken care of. I make sure pets are fed on their schedule, potty breaks, lots of play/a good walk or two. My happiness stems from making sure pets are safe, happy, and healthy.

“Zoie checked in on my 2 kitties for feedings, litter box maintenance and play time while I was out of town for 5 days. She let me know when she was in her way and provided feedback and pictures of them. I felt peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I would definitely book her again!”

“Megan was an amazing help to my family, not to mention she became a best friend to my sweet GSD, Cora! I had just started a new job and had a ton of anxiety over Cora being able to still get out during the day and get the exercise that she needed. Megan was able to not only walk, but also play with Cora 3 days a week while I was in the office. What you should know about Cora is that she is a 16-month-old GSD with a ton of energy. She's also a big girl and can be difficult to handle on a leash, especially when she sees other doggies! Megan learned how to train and keep Cora under control on walks and developed a beautiful trusting bond with her. I will continue to choose Megan in the future for any of Cora's needs. She truly is the best!”

About: Hi, I'm Pedro! I'm a proud corgi owner who takes dog care seriously — so seriously that I make my own dog's food from scratch, balanced down to the micronutrients. When I care for your pet, you're getting someone who genuinely understands dogs' needs, from exercise and enrichment to diet and body language. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means consistent availability for midday walks and drop-in visits — no last-minute cancellations because of a shift change. My background is in hospitality and customer service, so clear communication is second nature: expect photo updates, detailed report cards, and quick responses every time. What you can count on from me: I follow your routine and instructions exactly (feeding amounts, medications, leash rules — your dog, your way), I'm attentive to safety on walks (secure harness checks, no off-leash unless you approve it, awareness of hazards), and I treat every pet like my own. I'm also fluent in Portuguese, so I'm happy to communicate in either language. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you're away, I'll make sure they're happy, safe, and loved. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I'm available for midday walks and drop-in visits on weekdays, with additional availability in the evenings and on weekends. Because I'm not commuting or tied to shift work, I can offer consistent, reliable time slots week after week — and I'm often able to accommodate last-minute requests. Caring for my own corgi is already part of my daily routine, so adding your pup's walk or visit is a seamless part of my schedule, never an afterthought. All care takes place in your home and neighborhood, following your instructions exactly — feeding routines, medications, house rules, and preferred walking routes. On walks, I double-check that harnesses and collars are secure before heading out, keep dogs leashed at all times unless you've approved otherwise, and stay alert to hazards like hot pavement, other dogs, and anything tempting on the ground. During drop-ins, I make sure doors and gates are locked when I leave and your pet is settled and safe. You'll get photos and a detailed update at every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals since I was young for friends, family and neighbors. Trusting me to walk, feed and even bathe their pets. I'm a vet assistant with hands-on experience in small animals, but have experience with farm animals to! I am confident handling pets of all sizes, temperaments and needs, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I currently work twice a week 10 hours day, the best days for me to help out would be Wednesday-Sunday. I sometimes work shorter days on Saturdays and could stop by after to feed/walk/exercise your pet. I love getting outside and love having doggy company to join me! I'm willing to stop by twice a day to feed/clean for kitties. And I can always hang out with your dog (or dogs) for the day if you just need someone to keep them company while you are busy! I practice "fear free handling" meaning I always take the gentlest approach to any situation. An example would be if your pet needs to be crated but doesn't enjoy it, I use treats and always leave enough time to slowly work them into it. If I am ever leaving the house for an hour or two I make sure your pets are set up! Freshly pottied, not hungry/thirsty, access to toys and treats (if allowed) and with jazz music for them! I know every pet is different and has their own special quirks and I am more than willing to accomodate for them. I am very careful and responsible with other peoples pets and property.

“I was a little skeptical of Rover to begin with, but all my skepticism went right away once I met Kelsey and saw how good she is with my dogs. They loved her instantly and I know she took great care of them while I was out of town. She did drop in visits and also walked them, she even sent me picture updates after each visit. I felt Great peace of mind after each update and I was able to truly relax because I knew my dogs were in good hands. I also know that my dogs were able to stay relaxed and avoid the anxiety of going to a kennel. Kelsey is a genuine and great girl, I definitely trust her to come into my home and to take excellent care of my pets. You won't be disappointed :) I'll definitely be having her watch my dogs next time I'm out of town.”

“Rosalyn is wonderful! Our dog LOVES her and she has been great with communicating with us!”

About: Currently a part-time nurse looking to make a few extra bucks taking care of your fur babies. I am a dog mom, myself, and would love to drop in and take care of them or help them get their daily exercise!! Working part time and schedule can vary. If my calendar says I’m unavailable, please don’t hesitate to still reach out — I may be able to work out a time on that day with you. I try to be as flexible as I can 🐾😊 I can either drop in to check on and feed your pets, or I stay and give them some attention and time to get their energy out. I can also take them out on walks around the neighborhood! I love mixing it up with running/walking, as tolerated by the pups. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but I’m happy to stop in and check on them!🐱
