Frequently
Asked
Questions

What area do you service?

I primarily provide services within the city limits of Bellingham, WA.

What animals do you care for?

I primarily care for dogs and bunnies, but am also experienced with:

  • Cats

  • Rodents (guinea pigs, hamsters, rats)

  • Reptiles (lizards, snakes)

  • Freshwater fish

Feel free to ask about other pets. Bunny sitting rates typically apply.

Do you have any breed, age, or weight restrictions?

I welcome pets of all breeds, ages, and sizes, as long as they are a good match for my services and can be handled safely.

​

Before booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s temperament, behavior, energy level, and any special needs. This helps me ensure I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience for everyone involved.

​

For dogs that are very large, highly energetic, or require specialized handling (such as leash reactivity or medical needs), we’ll discuss details during the meet-and-greet to make sure I’m the right fit. If I ever feel a pet needs a different level of care, I’ll be honest and help point you in the right direction.

Are you licensed, insured, and certified?

Yes. I have a Washington State business license with a city of Bellingham endorsement, general pet sitter/dog walker liability insurance, and I am pet first aid and CPR certified.

Will my dog be walked alone or with others?

Unless otherwise discussed, all walks are one-on-one to ensure safety and personalized attention.

Do you administer medications?

Yes, I can administer most medications during home visits, including oral and topical treatments. Please provide clear, written instructions in advance.

What if there's an emergency?

In case of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your preferred vet and emergency instructions. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

Do you work holidays?

Yes, I am available on most holidays. Please note a $50 surcharge will apply during New Year's Eve & Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve & Day. Please contact me to discuss booking.
