Everett, WA

Contracted

Entry Level

Get Paid to Host Dogs in Your Home — No Apps, No Competing!

Why Join Our Dog Host Family Network

Love dogs but tired of the chaos of pet-sitting apps?
Join Tailored Pet Services, a trusted Everett business since 2011.
We send you pre-screened dogs from families who already trust us — no bidding, no endless messages, no strangers at your door.

Why Hosts Love Working With Us

Fewer Sitters = More Bookings. We handpick only a few hosts so you stay busy and well-paid.
Steady Referrals. With 1000+ monthly dog walks, daycare, grooming, and training visits, there’s always demand.
Higher Pay. Earn more per night than typical Rover or Wag hosts — without platform fees.
Zero Marketing. We handle client calls, screening, and payments. You enjoy caring for dogs.
Local & Trusted. We’ve been serving Snohomish County pet parents for 14 years — and they prefer boarding with our vetted hosts.

What You’ll Do

Welcome friendly dogs into your home while their owners travel.
Provide cuddles, walks, and a safe, cozy environment.
Follow each dog’s normal routine so they feel right at home.

What You’ll Need

A fenced yard (or commitment to 20–30 min real walks multiple times per day, rain or shine).
Reliable communication — photo check-ins required for each stay.
Landlord permission if you rent (owning a dog does not mean boarding approval).
For insurance purposes, we can only partner with homes where all residents are 18 or older.
Pet-friendly home (dogs and cats allowed with safety barriers).
Live near Everett, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Edmonds, Mukilteo, or Lake Stevens.

Ready to Get Started?

Our most popular hosts earn steady income caring for 1–2 dogs at a time — without juggling ten clients on an app. Holidays book fast — apply now to start boarding by October!
