House Sitting in Hoquiam

“Kendra was very positive and responsible and our anxious dog Bonnie was very calm when we returned, which showed she had been comfortable with Kendra. Kendra brought her charming young daughter with her to dog sit which limited how long and how often she could walk Bonnie.”

About: My name is Kaitlyn, and I'm a dog trainer in the Grays Harbor area. I have been successfully working with owners to rehabilitate fearful and/or reactive dogs for almost a decade now. I have also been a competitive dog agility instructor for 7 years. My own dog is Oakley, a Miniature American Shepherd, and he helps me with fearful or reactive dog clients by being a neutral dog with great communication skills. Before becoming a dog trainer full time, I worked at a dog daycare in Mukilteo for 3 years. It was a great experience and gave me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and handling large groups of dogs. I compete in seven different dog sports with my own dogs, but we love agility and flyball most. I am available whenever I'm not already teaching classes or at a competition. Scheduling is open as we just moved to the new area from Seattle. I am experienced with dogs who are difficult or nervous around strangers. I use scientifically backed, LIMA guided dog training to guide dogs through their feelings as gently as I am capable while accomplishing learning. In any case, I like to engage with dogs in a way that's most comfortable for them. Each dog is different! I am not comfortable taking unfamiliar dogs off leash outside of the home or yard for safety reasons, but I am happy to work on this skill with them if requested!

“Carina was great! She came by the house to get to know my boys and go through the routine and schedule. She gave me updates during the visit and made me feel comfortable leaving my babies at home.”

About: I have caretaking experience, I have had many pets in my lifetime from puppies, dogs with heart murmurs, to timid rescues that need lots of growth and support. I have a belief that all dogs can be cares for with ease, because I understand them through their personalities and specific needs. Every dog is unique in a beautiful way, just like humans, I do my best to pick up on their queues and give them the attention they deserve and give them good energy. I am open to caring for pets every day of the week, Monday to Sunday from daytime to overnight needs. I am a writer and creative and this would be my main job other than those duties which I would balance efficiently. At my home, I have two separate units. I have a main house and a studio next door, along with two fenced in backyards. I am near the Hoquiam town hall nearby the town which is perfect for long walks.

“Madeline did amazing with our giant puppy! She was very responsive and great to communicate with. Very professional and friendly. We trust her fully to take care of our baby and our home while we’re away. Excited to book with her again!”

About: My family or I have owned multiple dogs or cats of all sizes my entire life. I currently own a 10 year old boxer mix and 10 year old Great Pyrenees so I am comfortable with large and small dogs.

I am comfortable with caring for cats or dogs of all sizes. I have cared for puppies, kittens , and elderly dogs and cats.

About: We have always had dogs in the house. Ever since I was 9 I was knocking on neighbors doors begging to walk their furry baby. I have trained our two current puppies from when they were 9 weeks old (respectively). And continue to maintain training. I currently work part time as an after school care supervisior and instructional aid so mornings and evenings are free for puppy snuggles and walks! My goal would be to maintain routine, stave away boredom, and ensure physical exercise. I would work with parent and pup to ensure your fur baby has the best time!

“Tiffany is great! My dogs were very relaxed and happy when I got home.”

“Hannah was great! Scout enjoyed playing with her pup Fisher while I was away for work. I am very nervous about leaving my pup when I have to travel - Hannah was very sweet and Scout had a great time.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child living on a farm- dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, fish, and even plants! I have a deep sense of care for animals and living things, and will nurture and attend to your loved ones’ needs while you are away. I have a one year old chocolate Lab named George who gets along great with other dogs and is polite and respectful with cats. He comes with me on overnight stays and walks, but can stay in my truck for drop-in visits if you prefer. I can take your dog on long walks or visit dog parks during the day and give them plenty of playtime and attention. Available for drop in feeding visits, walks, or overnight stays. I am available to drop by or stay overnight in client’s homes. I have a pickup with a canopy to transport your dogs to the dog park, and have access to a private beach. Comfortable with large breeds, leash training and working with behavioral issues. Let me know what your pets need and I will be happy to accommodate.

About: I have experience with adult dogs and puppies. I will follow your instructions with absolute certainty and can assure you I will make sure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own. I am very responsible and if a home visit is needed, your home will be locked and secured the moment i leave and if the puppy or elder dogs make a mess i am happy and willing to clean it up to make your day easier when you return. If it is just walking services you are looking for, i will make sure we take a walk worth it to the dog or puppy so they get the proper exercise needed. I have a career where i get 3-4 days off at a time. I would love to help you ease some of the stress by taking care of your animals. It gives me a chance to enjoy them and help you as well. I will follow whatever instructions given to me and can be reached at all times a day if needed. I will also update you with photos or information if you ask. I can also assure you that i am very cautious about my surroundings and will do my best to make sure your pet is safe and cared for properly.

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and even rodents! I volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary for a few years and during that time I learned a strong understanding of patience and consistency. So when I care for your pet, I’ll approach it with the same level of dedication and compassion that I brought to the sanctuary! I have experience with a variety of animals, including seniors and special needs! I'm currently working short, part-time hours, so I'm quite flexible! I'm especially available during weekdays to help care for your pets while you're away at work! I love to start things slow when I'm introduced to a pet, especially if I'm inside their own home and space! Introducing myself with patience and kindness is something I always go by; the pet's comfort and trust are everything!

“Ashley is awesome. She stayed with our two dogs (one being a 4-month-old puppy) for a week and we came home to a clean house and happy pups. It's so nice not to worry about your home and beloved furry family members when you're out of town. Thanks Ashley!”

Friends and neighbors have trusted me to watch their furry companions, often on a paid professional basis, where I've honed skills in training basics, managing multi-pet households, and providing tailored care that keeps tails wagging. Whether it's a quick potty break or an overnight stay, I bring patience, playfulness, and a genuine bond to every pet I meet—because to me, they're family too! I work from home part-time, offering tons of flexibility to pamper your pups! Picture me juggling treats and toys with a dance break or two—available weekdays, weekends, and anytime for sitting with a wagging tail guarantee! Your pet’s safety is my top priority!

I maintain a vigilant eye on your pet’s needs and adapt to your home’s environment for their comfort and security—pure peace of mind!

“Josh accepted our last minute request so that we could leave town for a funeral and even arrived at 4:30 am for our early flight. He took great care of our dogs and even checked to make sure things were good with our reptile. In addition he left the house as he found it and cleaned up after himself.”
