About: I have had two babies of my own since I was 7 years old and plenty of other experience in pet care outside of that! I have 2 years of experience volunteering at the Kitsap Humane Society and pet sitting experience for neighbors. I have worked with animals of all sizes and demeanors! Even the special needs ones :) I am currently a college student at the University of San Diego and I am home for the summer, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your babies! When I’m caring for a pet in your home, trust is my top priority. I know it takes a lot to let someone into your space and care for a beloved family member, and I don’t take that lightly. I follow your instructions to the T, keep everything clean and secure, and make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and loved. I treat every home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“So glad Anne could help out with my dogs! They have a hard time being alone for too long, and having her walk them and spend time with them was wonderful. Definitely recommend her!”
“My dog Oliver loved Maria as soon as he met her. So she must have a special gift for connecting to furry friends. I’m so thankful that she is available for his daily walks. Maria is reliable, communicative, and so positive - just really awesome.”
“Kristen is great! Always on time, communicates and is enthusiastic about walking Sampson. My schedule is kind of crazy and it helps to have someone to rely on to get Sampson exercise and time out of the house. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”
“Jennifer walked my dog for several weeks while I was recovering from injuries and unable to leave the house. She was dependable, reliable, pleasant, and a good communicator. My dog loved her. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I also have volunteered at multiple animal shelters throughout the years. I absolutely love taking care of animals of all kinds and have never met a dog or cat that I didn't get along with! I have a lot of love, patience and kindness that I would be honored to give to your furbaby! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to gain some regular clients. I am available on short notice and can work around my flexible schedule to meet your needs. I am able to listen to the individual needs that your pets have. I have had senior animals all the way down to puppies and kittens. I am great at adhering to specific instructions and guidelines as well as respecting the moods and needs of the individual pet.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life from birds, guinea pigs, bunnies, goats, cats and dogs. I had a senior dog who passed away last year, she lived to be 17.5! I currently have a very sweet and active 3.5 year old male Vizsla and 2 indoor/outdoor cats. I believe our animals are a very special part of the family. I work from home so have a flexible schedule that I can work around to fit in walks and caring for your pet(s) based on your needs. I have a fenced in yard and several large fields I take my dog to to chase the ball. The safety of your pet is very important to me. I will only take them off leash if allowed by you.
About: I've had dogs of my own for 20 years. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 Holland lop bunny. I grew up on a farm with dogs, horses, cats, and lamas. I love all animals! I work at a school so I'm off for the summer! This leaves my schedule pretty open day to day. Most weekends are open as well. I can stay in your home with your pets or stop by as needed. I'm open to follow your care plan. Whatever keeps your pets comfortable.
About: My life goal is to meet as many dogs as possible. Hard to express in words why I love them as much as I do, but if you're a dog person too, you get it! I've had dogs all my life and am the current mommy to a very unique and handsome dalmatian mix. He's a complicated guy who is way too smart for his own good and particular about everything. It took a lot of work to train him as a pup but now he's the most perfect old man. One dog isn't enough though! I have enjoyed dog sitting for friends and family for many years. I've also volunteered at animal shelters for several years, where I walked and cared for a huge range of dog sizes, personalities, and special medical needs. I've had great success with shy and nervous dogs, I'm patient and gentle and I think they can sense it. I also have a lot of experience with young energetic dogs, I would love to get some physical and mental exercise along with them! Ask me about the "sniffari" approach, game changer! Whether you have a couch potato or an Olympic athlete, I would love to meet your furry family members. I also LOVE dog photography, I'll send you lots of pics! I'm home most of the time and have a flexible schedule during the day, evenings, and most weekends. Whatever your need, I can probably make it work! I'm available for house sitting (I stay in your home with your pet), drop-ins, and walks. I'm not able to host dogs in my home.
About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life and have personally trained my dogs, who have all been very well behaved. I love all animals and would care for yours with the utmost love and attention they deserve. I’m experienced in handling all kinds of behaviors—from anxious to rowdy—and I’m excited to meet your pet! I currently work part-time and participate in community theater, mostly during evenings and not every day. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the day! I’ve lived with pets my whole life and have personally trained all the pets I’ve owned very well. I’ve also dog sat many rowdy, high-energy dogs, so I’m confident handling all kinds of personalities. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I can provide the care they deserve! I love staying active and would have so much fun walking your dog—no matter the distance. I’m skilled at managing dogs who get distracted or reactive when passing other animals in public.
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals growing up. Was a cat sitter for my neighbor for a couple years. I am reliable and love being around animals! I’m currently taking summer classes, but they are online so I can make different times work if you just contact me! Available weekdays from 10 to 4 Personally my dog has learned to stay inside our property boundaries and I will go out and play fetch multiple times a day. I will stick to instructions and can give as much attention as needed.

They both adore her and love when she comes to visit. Rachel will take the time to attend to each of them, even taking them for separate walks if needed. She is also knowledgeable about all kinds of dogs and their behavior and even made recommendations to us about a type of harness that might help reign in our “sled dog” while walking. I can’t recommend a better person to take care of your loved fur-babies!”
