About: I grew up in a large industrious family (the Duntons) full of farm animals, cats, and dogs next to Lake Erie. I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life, and am part of a well-known and trusted large family in the Anacortes area with many well-known, trusted small family businesses (Dunton’s Body Shop, 6th Street Hair Co, Gae’s Drapery, Fidalgo Flower & Co, and more) and can be trusted with your home and pets. Thanks for looking! Fully open schedule. I can adapt to any feeding, behavioral, or exercise schedule your pet or pets may have. This is supplementary income for a fixed income retired situation. Highly skilled pet care from a trusted local family member woven into the Anacortes community. Absolute careful and loving pet care coming from decades of experience. Your pets are in excellent hands!

About: Hi! Thanks so much for checking out my profile! I’ve been an avid animal lover my whole life. I’ve had three amazing kitties since childhood, and have been handling horses for 14 years! Friends and neighbors have asked me to walk and care for their beloved cats, dogs, horses, fish, and even rabbits. From Yorkshire terriers, to Siberian huskies, I’ve walked and watched many different sizes and breeds of dogs; I would be more than happy to care for larger animals. I’ve taken care of puppies and kittens while their pet-parents were away, and I have experience in administering pilled and tablet medication to dogs and cats. As an avid traveler myself, I understand just how important it is to find a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter while you are away. Thank you for taking the time to consider me! While I am a full-time university student, I look for many ways to keep animals in my life. I am excited to offer my love and care for your fur babies during breaks and weekends so you can be free from worry when you can’t be home. Before I stop by to care for your pet, I highly encourage a meet-and-greet with me so that you and your pet can be rest-assured that they will be taken care of. When I come by to care for your pet, I’ll have a pre-made checklist created to fit your pet’s needs. After feeding, cleaning water bowls, and completing pet-specific needs, I will be sure to give them some love and play time—after all, it’s just as important! It is important to me that your fur baby will feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

About: My family and I had a Brittany Spaniel for about 6 years before she passed away due to bone cancer. I tried my hardest to make those 6 years the best years of her life! I ran with her, I fed her, I slept with her during thunderstorms, I loved my dog and I should love yours too! I have an outgoing personality that fits well with dogs and if they need anything I am able to provide it! I should be available most days of the week, but weekends are preferred. I love dogs and cats! I have just graduated with my bachelor's in psychology and minor in philosophy and am now back home looking to make some money in the meantime of finding steady employment! This means I am available pretty much 24/7 at the moment! I always make sure animals are well fed, well rested and happy! I am generally pretty relaxed, but am up for playing with animals if they are ready as well!

“Christal was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative, reliable and great with both my dog and my in laws ☺️who our dog was staying with. I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

About: *We do not accept bookings that give less than 48 hour notice from the start date. Sorry!* I am a professional dog trainer and breeder of Australian Shepherds. My family and I have moved all over the US and are now back in Washington! I used to run a fully operational boarding facility and board and train program in Island County and have decided to start out slow now that we're settled back in our home state. I have 20 years of experience training dogs- 15 of those years being a paid, licensed and insured professional. I take the utmost care of any animal in my charge. I treat them like family and honor all the requests made by owners to ensure their pet is treated perfectly when they are gone! I understand the love and care people have for their animals and do everything I can to show that same level of care when they are under my watch. I take videos and photos regularly to keep families updated, as well! I am a SAHM with decades of experience in the canine world. My dogs, and my clients, are my life. They are my whole routine! I am equipped to manage all varieties of dogs from the easiest house guest to dog aggressive cases or complicated medical needs. I tailor my services to each individual dog to give them the best possible care and allow their people to have some freedom and know their dog is well cared for. I make sure to chat with owners and let them know what variety of boarding I offer is most suitable for their dog. I am able to make multiple daily trips to feed, potty and play with client dogs in their homes. My times are very flexible and have often done combo stays- where your dog stays the night with me and I drive it to your home during the day and pick up again in the evening. This works well for senior dogs or puppies who need monitoring over night.

“Samantha truly is a dog lover. She’s also a great communicator and very reliable. Going to work is less stressful because I know I can depend on Samantha showing up and caring for my beloved dog. I definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was ten years old and love getting to know them. I will be their calm and confident leader. Safety is my top priority (with fun being close behind) I will tailor each visit to the individual pet depending on their needs and personality. I run with my dog Daisy 4-6 miles a day and would love to adventure with yours! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Beginning in the Fall I will be available every Wednesday & Thursday morning for walks/jogs. As of now I am available for boardings anytime. For walks and jogs I am currently available at various times throughout the week. We are diligent about keeping our doors shut for our pets safety. Our dog has a long leash she can use in order to explore our backyard whenever she wants. I am adaptable and happy to follow each owner’s specific requirements for their home and keep the pets safety as my top priority.

About: I grew up in a household taking care of many different types of animals. Dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, caged birds, as well as livestock such as chickens, various fowl and goats. My dog walking and sitting experience includes caring many rescues since I was a small child. My calf demeanor and gentle presence works well with all breeds, and I have the patience and experience required to work with energetic and challenging animals. Understanding how dogs communicate and express various emotions is a key part of being a good caretaker. I am a touring bluegrass musician, but have plenty of home time. My schedule works great for folks that are looking for a dog walker while they are out of town or just need someone to help take some of the walking off your hands to free up time! Dont hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am always available and responsive, and very easy to get ahold of at all times. I have a very thorough understanding of the importance of meticulous care and trust in a dog walking or pet care relationship. My approach is always 100% of the time treating your pet, belongings and property with the utmost respect, via deliberation and forethought. I pride myself in curating a safe, trusting environment with my clients.

About: I’ve been around all animals almost all my life and have always had the biggest love for them. I have also worked at veterinary offices and love almost every part of it :) I am currently doing online courses for school at skagit valley college and have an open schedule to help out with any type of animal care :) I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs would love and hardwood floors inside my house for when they are inside. I am fully capable of taking care of the animals however wanted :)
