About: I love all animals and grew up taking care of all sorts of pets, however dogs hold the biggest piece of my heart. My wonderful pup, Bentley, recently went over the rainbow 🌈 after 13 amazing years together and there’s been a little piece of me missing ever since. Let me love on your dog when you can’t! We will definitely be helping each other out ❤️🥰 I work from home and can be around most of the time your pet is in my care. I love to play and go on walks. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate your pet, whatever the need. When they are with me, they are welcome on the couch and bed or I will follow any instructions to keep your fur baby on their normal regimen. Every animal has different needs and I will make sure they feel comfortable and are well cared for. I am familiar with aggressive breeds and know how to handle all kinds of situations. I’ve also had a senior pet that required medicines and special foods. Whatever kind of care your pet needs, I can assure you I will treat them like my own. I generally only sit 1-3 dogs at a time (dependent on size) since I live in an apartment, however I will take them out often to make sure they get enough exercise and I will smother them with love if they will let me! If you have more then 3 dogs or any questions on how many dogs will be here with yours, please reach out! I will try to accommodate wherever I can.

About: I've had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, fish, etc. I absolutely love animals of all shapes and sizes. I volunteer at the SPCA in my spare time because I just can't get enough. I have a fairly flexible schedule and a reliable vehicle. I would love to set up a regular schedule so that I can plan in advance for the best care possible. I have an older Chihuahua who is very mellow and gets along with all animals and humans. I have a grassy open area for play as well as a fenced off area for off leash play.

“Really takes good care of my dog! Highly recommended”

About: I am reliable patient and truly love animals. I provide safe and attentive care so your pets feel comfortable while you’re away. Their security happiness and routine come first. I work part-time, but can make arrangements to fit the need for care as needed. Communication is key. I will do my best to accommodate. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine, providing feeding, walks and playtime, medication if needed and lots of attention.

About: I have had over 20yrs experience pet/house sitting and have impeccable references. If you are looking for a responsible person to shower your 4~legged companions with oodles of TLC, look no further. I am available to care for your pet(s) at your home or mine. I live on a 50 acre property with lots of room to romp and exercise on or off leash. I also live across from a 2000+ acre recreation park/sanctuary with mikes of hiking trails for additional exercise and adventures. I am a semi-retired RN so your pet(s) would not be left alone for any length of time. I look forward to basking in their company and doting on them 24/7. Please contact me for any questions. Thank you for your consideration. ~Claudia I am a retired RN so your dog(s) would have me to keep them company all day along with our own 2 dogs (4 yr old Basset Hound and 8yr old English Springer Spaniel) who both neutered very dog friendly males. We have a lovely fully fenced 8+ acres property and comfy home for your dog(s) to have the run of along with our 2 dogs. We are both home all day and there is always someone here at all times. No dog is left home alone. We also have a caretaker who tends to the the 2 horses and mini donkey (whom live in separate pastures from the main property, as well as / goats that live in a back pasture. We have a fully fenced 8 acre property with a four ft fence. Dogs are free to have access to entire property as well as free range indoors. We have a very comfortable home with a large wrap around deck and 5 exits. So it’s in/out all day as much as any dog wants/needs. It’s truly doggie heaven here and most people want to stay themselves when they drop off their dogs. We don’t care for more than 2 at a time.

“Teddy loves going on walks with Sierra and Buckaroo. Sierra is very reliable and great to work with.”

About: —~> Ask about Farm Animal Care <~— Spending time with animals is a gift. It is a joy to meet new furry friends and give them extra love while their caretakers are out adventuring or working. I love to go for walks on the beach or in the woods. I like to chase sunsets and sunrises. All of which are more enjoyable with sweet creatures. I adore giving affection and opportunities to play for both cats and dogs. I have tended to a variety of different types of animals over the years. Some need ample one on one attention. Which I accommodate by giving them solo walks and separate meal times when requested. Others who loved to be social or had other animal roommates that needed plenty of outdoor time. Elder cats and dogs who needed extra special care, medication, fluids, and special diets. Dog and cat drop ins can make a world of difference for an animal navigating extended time away from their people/person. I give them all focused attention, consideration, bonding interactions and love. Dog walks are a vital key to their health and well being. It takes a village to tend to our critters too! Human and animal. I have many special spots for them to enjoy throughout the Olympic Peninsula. Including safe off leash areas when requested. I have a 7 year old dog, Hoodi. She does not come with me for cat or dog drop ins. Dog walks can include her company or not, always at your discretion. She does join me for overnight pet sitting and loves other dogs. She tends towards submissive and loves to chase and play. She is very mellow indoors and enjoys watching the activity of others. Throughout her life she has helped with pet sits. For her first four years of life she lived with two other dogs. She is a great addition to any pack. I have experience farm sitting which includes plant watering of green house, gardens, field and pasture. As well as goat milking, poultry care, and feeding of cows, horses, goats and pigs. Feel free to message me in booking about pricing for full time/part time farm care. Please note my pet sitting is limited to the Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap County. I pet sit most frequently in Port Townsend, Discovery Bay, Sequim, Blyn, Port Ludlow, Brinnon, Port Gamble, Quilcene, Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Irondale, and Marrowstone Island. Occasionally I will work in Port Angeles, Joyce, Forks, Queets, Poulsbo, Kingston, Bremerton, Bainbridge and Silverdale. I prefer extended house sits and like to build solid bonds with animals. I prioritize repeat clients. I have additional references outside of Rover. As many of my clients book me via word of mouth. This profile gives ease of access to my calendar. I currently work seasonally teaching art based school break kids camps and afterschool programing on the Olympic Peninsula. I spend the rest of my time making art from home and adventuring outdoors. This means I can have extended quality time with your pet(s) for walks and/or outdoor play and indoor care. Summer is my busiest season as a teacher. I have less availability during it. I believe maintaining routines and exercise is important for the physical and emotional well being of all animals. I will strive to uphold this and adapt my schedule as best as I can for your pet(s). I enjoy taking the time to communicate with you about your desires, concerns, texting check ins and sending sweet photos for your peace of mind. As every pet is an important family member. I know them to be kin.

About: I’ve had dogs around me all my life from puppies to elderly care, from changing diapers to walks, I take care of all dogs equally. I am part-time with a flexible schedule and free in the winter for now, so I am able to spend time with your fur babies any time.

About: Hi! I'm Matt—an animal lover, long-time dog walker, and all-around dependable human based in Quilcene, WA. Whether it's a romp in the woods, a relaxing cuddle, or feeding time while you're away, I take pride in offering thoughtful, attentive care that fits each pet’s unique personality. I’ve spent years living closely with animals—from farm dogs and indoor cats to quirky parrots—and I treat every pet I meet like part of the family. I know how important consistency, communication, and a calm presence can be for both pets and their people. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm available for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I also have experience with senior dogs, basic meds, and high-energy pups who need a little extra adventure. Let me help you keep your pet happy, healthy, and feeling loved while you’re away! I've been with my perfect dog for 14 years, and it's structured so much of my life. While she's no longer my mountain biking companion I still find some quality time every day with her. These days it's a lot of her favorite swim spots and nice couch sessions. We put in a nice walk every week, even if it means I'm carrying her by the end. Your dog’s safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs leashed unless otherwise approved, and avoid unsafe situations on walks. I helped my own dog work through leash reactivity, so I understand how to stay calm, alert, and supportive in tricky moments. You’ll always get clear updates and know your pup is in good hands.

“Erin is great and we loved having her walk Django. She is very patient and kind, and Django loved her. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

About: I have feeding, walking, playing and poop cleaning experience. I have been around small and large, young and old dogs most of my life. I know all are different in their needs but they all need love and I can provide that. I have no other job so I have all the time needed for your pet. I'm available days, nights, weekends and emergency care available. I haven't had a pet not like me yet. I can follow any routine already set in place. I can give extra time and love to any animal. I will not take the care of your member of the family lightly.

About: I’ve never met a pet I didn’t want to be friends with. I’m reliable, caring, and happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether they’re an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a little bit of a menace. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and you’ll probably get more photos of your pet than you asked for because I have zero self control when it comes to fur babies. I'm currently working remote and my availability has opened wide up. I love to stay active and doing things so why not do something i love (hang with cute animals) while i have the free time! My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, comfortable, and entertained until you get home. I’m great at following routines, giving lots of attention, and making friends with pets on their terms (even the ones who like to play hard to get). Whether that’s a walk, a game, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the care they deserve.
