Solaris Pet Care
I currently offer drop-in visits at client homes.
I have a long personal history of caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes, and also have experience working in the pet food industry in both retail and corporate office environments. I unofficially pet sat for friends and family for years, and officially joined Rover in Seattle December of 2021. I started Solaris Pet Care when I moved to Whidbey Island in March of 2022. I am licensed, bonded, and insured.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve been transitioning toward specialized care for farms. I’ve cared for sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, guanacos, rabbits, chickens, and more. In April of next year, I hope to attend the Washington State Shearing School, to add shearing services to my animal care offerings.
My approach to caring for your pets is simple: I do my best to meet them where they are, and to ensure they have the most comfortable time possible while their humans are away. This often looks like lots of (consensual) snuggles for everyone, as well as lots walks, play time, belly rubs, and (parent-approved) snacks. I also love to keep you updated on how your kids are doing while you’re gone, and am more than happy to send photos and snippets of their day as often as you’d like—just ask!

Meet & Greet

A 30 minute meeting in your home to determine if we're a good fit.
Schedule a Meet & Greet before your first booking so you, your pet(s), and I can start getting to know each other. This is also a great opportunity for me to get comfortable with where things are in your home and to learn your pet's routines.
