Pet Sitting in Hoodsport

“We were SO nervous about having someone new watch our Vinny but Lindsay Erin came out for a "meet and greet". She sat with us and Vinny for quite a while and we could immediately see she was caring and very experienced. While we were away she sent us text messages on how Vinny was doing. She followed our instructions to the "T"! We have already booked her for a few more visits and we are so relieved to have such a wonderful pet sitter. Highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve almost always had a dog and/or cat(s) in my home. I’ve been the primary caregiver for my current dog for over 8 years now. She is a highly anxious dog who has to have pills medication twice daily for years now. So I’m very comfortable with administering pills to dogs. I’m most familiar with anxious dogs and they almost always calm down relatively quickly to my gentle grounded nature. I enjoy seeing how happy a simple walk or hike can give a dog and love to give them many opportunities to do so. I have several years experience with pet/house sitting for neighbors and friends. My discipline style = positive reinforcement and gentle but firm reminders. Redirecting their attention typically works wonders. My schedule is currently open to new clients. Let’s chat and see if what you need aligns with what I have to offer at the current moment. Safety is my first priority so I take instructions from you very seriously. You let me know what the rules and constraints are for your home and fur-baby, I will follow them carefully. Tell me what your fur-baby needs and I’ll make sure it gets done.

About: With over 15 years of extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets—including dogs, fish, and various other animals—I'm committed to providing the highest level of care for your beloved companions. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after both family and friends' pets, as well as my own, and I fully understand how important your pets are to you. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own family. I recognize that leaving your pet behind can be stressful, so I provide consistent updates and photos to ensure you feel confident and reassured while you're away. I have a personal dog, Arya, that accompanies me on all my pet care visits—she’s friendly, gentle, and always excited to meet a new buddy! Your pup will have a built-in playmate and never feel lonely while you're away. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet before to ensure all dogs and humans are a good fit! Additionally, I offer personalized enrichment activities designed to keep your pet mentally stimulated and engaged, promoting both their well-being and comfort. Whether it’s through interactive toys or custom-tailored playtime, I’m here to create a balanced and enjoyable experience for your pet. I understand that each pet has unique needs, and I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to discuss how I can best accommodate your specific requirements. Rest assured, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet’s care is professional, compassionate, and stress-free. Let me provide you with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced and loving hands. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and energy to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I'm happy to accommodate drop-ins and walks at almost any time of day—just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I understand that every pet and every schedule is unique, and I’m committed to providing personalized, reliable care you can count on. Bend is full of beautiful outdoor spaces that are perfect for dogs to explore and enjoy. I regularly take pups on enriching sniff walks through scenic areas like Drake Park, Pilot Butte, and along the Deschutes River Trail—each offering a variety of sights, smells, and safe walking paths to keep your dog engaged and happy. If your pup enjoys more freedom and social time, I also frequent secure, fenced-in areas such as the Bob Wenger Memorial Off-Leash Area at Pine Nursery Park and the Big Sky Dog Park. These spots are great for off-leash play, running, and making new furry friends in a controlled environment. Whether your dog prefers a calm stroll through the neighborhood, a nature walk, or active play at the park, I’ll tailor each outing to fit their energy level, temperament, and routine. I offer flexible services including: Private or group walks Drop-in visits (feeding, potty breaks, playtime) Off-leash park trips (with your permission) Puppy socialization outings Customized enrichment activities Just let me know what suits your dog’s needs and your lifestyle best—I'm happy to work around your schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible!

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.

“Willow was such an excellent sitter for my dog. She sent plenty of updates and really made us feel comfortable being away from our pup. I couldn’t have been happier with her service and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Tammie is awesome! I hired her to do drop-in visits for my cat Lindy while I was out of town. She was really communicative with me throughout my whole trip, even sending me daily photos and videos so I could see first hand how Lindy was doing. I felt like Lindy was being well taken care of each visit which I so appreciate.”

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”

Glen K.

“Very good & dogs loved Victoria while they were VERY active. Provided great feedback.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for my own dogs and cats for many years. I currently have a dog and a cat. My pets come first and are spoiled. I have experience caring for senior pets. Additionally, I am a nonsmoker and nonvaper. I am retired and work a part-time job which gives me lots of free time to watch after, walk, play with, and care for your pets. I believe in taking care of and loving your pet as if it were my own. Their care and needs are my priority. Caring for my pets always come first.

About: I have had pets in the family since I was 9 years old, including cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, rats, tarantulas, and fish. I have been a pet sitter for many years while folks have been gone for months at a time, requiring me to live at their residence. I worked with puppies, sick dogs, multiple dogs, bottle fed baby yaks (yes really), and am extremely clean and reliable. I am currently employed part time and have lots of availability as long as pet owners are aware that I could be gone upwards of 8 hours. I am looking for reliable and dependable clients that need long term help. Having a routine is not only good for me, but it is also good for your pet. I provide in home sitting only as I live with my parents and they have their own pets. I am working and have a lot of free time. I hope to find a job working from home and am looking for a new house with a fenced yard! I have a very energetic cattle dog that can be included in playtime. My partner loves all animals and we spend a lot of time with all of our animals.

“Branden took excellent care of our senior dog and our two cats. Our dog is not often left behind, so we were concerned about how she'd do now that she's older, but Branden had her relaxed and happy, and she did great. The cats always do great with him - lots of fun, lots of great photos. Thank you Branden!”

About: I am a friend to all dogs I come across. They are my favorite kind of creatures. Though I really love cats too and all animals for that matter! I have good boundaries and will be firm but also very loving, and am good at dealing with any kind of neuroses that pets can have! I lost my dog to cancer a few years ago, and then my sweet kitty a bit after that. I'm not ready to have my own animal friends again yet, but love caring for other peoples creatures as much as I can! I love going for long walks or runs if your pup has a lot of energy, so I am happy to just come over for walks with your dogs, or have them over to my house if you are heading out of town. I can do house sitting and animal care at your house as well. This includes plant watering and keeping your house tidy. I’ve done dog sitting for many families over the past 7 years living in Olympia, (and some years in Seattle before that) though now I've moved just outside of Shelton. I have great references that I would love to share with you if you’d like. Thanks for reading! Please contact me with any questions. While caring for your pup, i’ll have minimal other obligations, such as maybe another dog walk to do, or some work on my etsy store. I have a yard, but no fence yet. So I always supervise dogs while they are out in the yard, on leash if needed. I live in a rural area with lots of good places to walk as well as a lake for the dogs to explore a couple blocks away.

About: I am skilled in caring for fur and feathered pets. I have and am comfortable with administering oral and topical medications as well as subcutaneous and intramuscular shots I am currently available 7 days a week for in-home visits and overnights. I have a 10 lb 2-year-old poodle mix who accompanies me on visits when allowed by pet parents While in your home I will maintain a clean, safe and hygienic environment while performing pampering comprehensive pet care including feeding, watering and exercising. I will provide regular updates to pet owners via text, email, or photos

“I am a first time customer. Abby made the experience great. She walked me through the process and made me feel confident about the care she takes with our cat. She was professional, reliable and so kind. I’m looking forward to scheduling Abby for April and July vacations if she’s available.”

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

Our promise to you is that we will do everything we can to make your dogs stay with us as stress free as possible. We have over 25 years of pet sitting experience. From experience training puppies to caring for senior dogs, we have done it. There are so many amazing dog sitters out there. A couple examples of what sets us apart from many of them is that there is always someone home to interact with your dog. We also live on two fenced acres! If your dog wants to play with our dog (Baby) he/she can. If not, we have additional fenced off areas to provide stress free outdoor time. Interaction or not, we have the time, space, and people to provide for your dog’s preferences. I am a teacher and work throughout the work week. Grandma and grandpa are always home, however, ensuring that your dog always has someone home to care for them. We understand that maintaining your dog’s daily routine is very important. We are committed to maintaining that routine as much as possible. Aside from our fenced two acres and 24 hour adult supervision/interaction, we are happy to share videos, FaceTime, and maintain open communication at all times.

“Dawn came to our rescue for a second time recently, when we needed a last-minute walk and feeding. Our boy was happy and in great spirits when we came home, and Dawn updated us with many photos so we knew he was well taken care of :)”
