Dog Walkers in Hoodsport, WA

“Grace did an amazing job with my dog Nova! I was quite nervous leaving Nova to go overseas on vacation as I have never spent much time away from her. Nova is a high drive dog who needs an experienced handler and a lot of exercise! Upon meeting Grace and hearing of her experience I immediately felt more secure. Grace is kind and responsible with an extensive background in animal care. Nova loved her from the get go as well. Thank you Grace! Knowing that my Nova was able to get some exercise and mental stimulation with someone I felt comfortable with allowed me to really relax and enjoy my vacation experience. You will be my first choice when the next vacation opportunity arises!”

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

About: Available for services in Brinnon, Lilliwaup, Hoodsport, Lake Cushman and Union. I've been caring for dogs for decades personally, and for family and friends for over 15 years. I have loads of compassion, impeccable attention to detail, and connecting with your pup through their unique expressions of communication is the primary focus of my attention when we're together. I work from home, so have a very flexible schedule that can easily meet your and your pups' needs daily. If you're interested in in-home sitting, my work allows me to remain with your pup for most of the day (minus appointments with walking clients). This allows us to establish and maintain a routine each day - a critical component of limiting your pup's stress while adjusting to you being away. On walks and home checks I offer training reinforcement as well as the kind of walk your dog needs: lots of sniffing time, or a face-paced multi-mile walk/hike, or a little of both! In your home, I will care for it and your pup as my own. Respecting your home's security, your neighbors, and your home's cleanliness is top priority.

About: I've been a dog mom for 18 years. My dogs have provided me with companionship, loyalty, joy, structure, and unconditional love over the years. My first dog, Angel, was a Beauceron mix with a blue tongue. She was my best friend, my protector, my shadow. I loved her fiercely. She went over the rainbow bridge three years ago at the age of 14. About a year before she passed, our Kai Ken/Mudi mix, Cody Coyote, joined the family as her companion. This past summer, Corgi pup, Michael, moved in. My son's first official dog. We take regular walks together and they are always making us smile and laugh. I know how special pup companions are and I would love to help you care for yours. Daily walks with my pups are very important for me and for them. I need the movement, and they need to smell. On the weekend, I have more time to walk more pups, check on them, give potty breaks, or feed them. My pups have a fenced in yard and are able to take regular potty breaks every two to four hours. We take walks after I get off work. My pups eat breakfast before I work and eat dinner when my family does. I am available on weekends to give your pup/s potty breaks every two to four hours, up to three walks a day, and feeding in your home.

About: I have four cats of my own. Along with them, I also take care of our elderly dog who requires special attention and care around the clock. I also care for family members pets including, but not limited to: Feeding, bathing, walking, and playing! I used to be in college, but I am taking a year off to figure some things out. So, I have plenty of time to hang out with your fuzzy friends! I know that all pets have boundaries. Some are more skeptical of strangers than others. If I take care of your pet in your home, I will make sure to not make your animal uncomfortable with the presence of a new person by giving them the space and time they need to warm up to me! I have been told i am a gentle person, so I believe that your pet will be perfectly fine with me! However, I have a sister who lives with me who has a cat that is not so nice with others. So, if you request me to house sit for your animal, I unfortunately cannot do so in my own home, it would have to be at your home. This is just to keep your fuzzy friends safe!

“Brad was great with Baldur and Baldur loves his new friend. Our dog is large, reactive, and very hyper at times. Brad is great with him and handles his energy and nipping. He genuinely loves working with dogs and I would recommend his services.”

About: Hi I am available to watch your fur babies/farm critters in your home and daily check ins. While your away I will treat your animals with love care and respect. Just as I would want my fur babies to be cared for. Long walks in nature, belly rubs, lots of attention and will keep you updated as often as you like. I have been helping care for dogs for many years. I have experience with lots of breeds ranging from tiny poodles to giant dobermans. I believe in patients and kindness with a firm alpha tone. If you have a farm I am happy to care for those animals.I have experience with horses, goats, cows, llamas, alpacas, pigs, ducks, geese chickens and sheep. Having a lot of animals myself I understand how hard it is to get away. We have four awesome dogs, four barn cats, chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs and one goat so far on our little homestead. I am at the farm full time with my son and all our animals. Except for when we are out checking on our fur friends I currently can not care for any more animals at my homestead farm. We are at capacity but I am happy to come to your home.

“I am so glad to have found Frankie for my yellow Labrador. She was flexible with scheduling, and made all efforts to accomodate any last minute requests. Jaggi was at ease with her all the time. She really took care of my dog like he was her own. I will not be looking for anyone else to sit my dog for a while. Thank you Frankie for being so awesome.”

“Carol was great! She came and walked my two dogs, one not used to walking yet, and they loved her. They were very excited to see her each day. She was flexible with the time which was really helpful. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I love walking, washing and caring for animals more than ever. It warms my heart to see them loved and happy. I am currently working a full time position but it is not an everyday job so I am hoping to fit some time in to do something I love well making some extra money on the side! With a place in my heart for animals comes with being alert to everyone and everything around when taking care of animals and pets. When walking animals I make sure to stay away from other pets or people if your pet is not comfortable with being around others. When grooming I make sure to be gentle and patient with the pet/pets. When staying in the home I make sure that they are well loved and get the attention and care they need.

About: We're back for drop-in visits and dog walks ONLY. We can do farm animals too for an additional fee. I have loved animals for my whole life. While growing up, my family and I fostered dogs-- caring for those dogs became a big responsibility of mine starting at a young age. From then on, I was dog-sitting part-time in other people's homes--but in 2017, I decided that caring for dogs in my home was the direction I was supposed to go. The dogs I've taken care of have been on a wide spectrum of breeds--ranging from Maltese to Staffies to Newfoundlands. I've also taken care of elderly dogs who needed medicine administered daily. Our goal is that our house will become an extension of your dog's home and they won't miss you quite as much while you're gone. We live in a home with an adequately-sized fenced in yard. We try to keep the house as cage-free as possible, but please let us know if you prefer for your dog to be crated while sleeping, for afternoon naps, etc. My husband and I work as a team and usually in shifts. Please inform us of any behavioral issues your dog may have--as we have dogs of our own and may be watching more than one dog at a time. We have 3 dogs of our own, 2 Golden Retrievers and 1 Dalmatian, so there is no shortage of playtime. Ariel is an old-soul Golden Retriever and is content snoozing away in the sun or snuggled up on a pillow. Achilles and Arnold are rambunctious, happy boys who loves toys and pretending to be small enough to sit on your lap. We also have a cat who is used to dogs, but if your dog has issues with cats, please let us know. For your dog's stay with us, we need proof of up-to-date vaccinations from your veterinary's office. This is necessary to make sure our dogs and all other dogs are safe in our care. You will also need to bring your own dog food and feeding instructions. Please bring your dog's crate if you'd like your dog to stay in one (for if we have to run a quick errand or during bedtime). Lastly, if your dog requires a medications, please bring those as well. We are EXTREMELY flexible, so don't ever worry about bothering us with unusual drop off or pick up times. We're also able to watch dogs on most holidays. To recap, we LOVE dogs of all kinds and we're happy and willing to watch yours while you're away. Expect to receive pictures of your pooch once a day! My husband and I are self-employed. We work as a team and usually in shifts, so our schedule is extremely flexible. Any day, any time. We live in a home with an adequately-sized fenced in yard. I try to keep the house as cage-free as possible, but please let us know if you prefer for your dog to be crated while sleeping, for afternoon naps, etc.

“Excellent dog-walker! Punctual, professional, sends me lovely photos and gives Geordi a nice long walk. Very happy with her services!”
