About: Do you have a sweet fur baby who wants room to run and sniff and play with other dog friends? I offer kennel free, constant care, in home dog boarding. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to offer in-home boarding and doggy daycare. I've spent years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—whether it’s through helping friends and family or volunteering with local shelters. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or special care. Creating a safe, fun, and loving environment is my top priority. Your dog will be treated like part of the family—whether we’re playing in the yard, going for walks, or just relaxing together. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, and I’m here to provide that for you and your pup. Let's do a meet and greet at a local park here in Kingston. Dogs are a part of my everyday life and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give each dog my full attention and provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, supervised play in the yard, or quiet companionship indoors, I’m always present and engaged. My days revolve around the dogs in my care—from mealtimes and outdoor fun to afternoon naps and evening routines. On a weekly basis, I maintain a calm, structured environment where dogs feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, your pup will always have someone nearby to meet their needs and keep them happy. Puppy Care Experience: Over the past 30 years , I’ve raised many puppies and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to thrive. I use a potty schedule and positive reinforcement to encourage good habits and build trust. For puppies still learning boundaries, I’ve successfully used long lines indoors for gentle guidance. I also have a variety of dog crates available for all dogs who are crate trained, ensuring a safe and familiar environment that supports their routine. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I live on a quiet property with over an acre of fully fenced, grassy pasture—perfect for running, exploring, and playtime. Whether your dog loves to fetch, sniff around, or just relax in the sun, they’ll have a supervised, safe space to enjoy. Inside, your pup will be treated like family, with cozy spots to rest and plenty of love and attention. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is in a caring, secure, and fun environment.

“Stormy is a shy cat. She doesn't come out to just anyone. Stormy trusts Sha and becomes a normal playful cat around her. It has made our travels easier knowing that Sha is taking care of Stormy.”

“Shelby dropped in to spend some time with our 10 month old lab while we were in town for a wedding. She was quick to respond and send updates, as well as send a thorough follow up with photos after leaving. We’re so thankful she was able to spend time with our pup on short notice!”

“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING! This is the very first time using Rover and finding Elizabeth, and retaining her service to check in on my Puppy-Buddy, Liam, has been a fantastic experience. Liam instantly connected with Elizabeth. Elizabeth provided Liam with the care and love he needed while I was away. Liam seemed completely happy every day when I arrived home, and not because he saw me, but because of all the visits he received from Elizabeth. Elizabeth made sure to send plenty of pics and videos of playtime with Liam and this made me very confident that choosing Elizabeth to connect with Liam was the perfect choice. I would give Elizabeth 6 stars and more if given this option. I highly recommend Elizabeth, so long as I don't need her first.”

“We recently were gone for a week and hired Ashley to look after our cat during drop in visits, and she couldn’t have done a better job. Ashley made sure that our cat was comfortable in his own environment, and sent us the most incredible photos and descriptions of how he behaved that day. We are so incredibly appreciative of Ashley’s amazing work and will no doubt be hiring her again in the future. She really went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Ashley!”

About: When your pet stays with me, I want you and them to rest assured that they are part of the family. My goal is to keep your pets routine as close to normal as possible while you are away. I have been pet sitting on Rover for 9 years and have 10+ years experience before that. During that time I have done stays as short as an afternoon to staying at a house for 2 whole months! You can expect frequent updates with pictures while you are away and be able contact if you need anything. I have even done video calls with owners during longer stays! One of my favorite things to do is take dogs on a nice long stroll on nice days. There is a wonderful trail just behind my house that makes for a perfect nature walk. Of course, if your pet prefers to lounge around and play inside, I'm fine with that too! I put a lot of time, and energy into training my dog using positive reinforcement, patience, and treats (lots of treats). I still keep up with the latest methods on dog and cat behavior today. When I pet sit I put that same dedication and commitment towards whomever I am watching. Medication Experience: I am trained in Pet CPR and First Aid -experienced with administering pills and liquid medication -have given more advanced care but would like a run through with you prior to the stay My House and Neighborhood: I am a half mile away from the Kingston ferry, which is about a 2 minute drive from the time you get off to my house. I live on the 3rd floor of a condo building which provides a large grass yard to play in as well as 2 patios for any pet that enjoys some fresh air. There is a walking trail behind where I live and I am a 15 minute walk to the beach. My Pets: I have 2 cats that are both very friendly with other animals. They love to play with other kitties and tend to give dogs their space. My house is cat-ified with cat trees galore, window sills to peer out of, tunnels to hide in and scratch posts to well.. scratch. I work from home 3 days a week (Tues, Thur, Fri) and go into Seattle for work Mon and Wed. I leave the house at 8:15 and get home around 6:00pm. If your pet needs me to be home sooner I can be home as soon as 4:15pm. During the work from home days I will be able to take pets out on potty breaks, give meals, do short walks, and give some cuddles and play time. Keeping harmony and peace in my home is a top priority for me and I am always very aware of what all the critters are up to while I am home. In the event of your pet being uncomfortable I am able to provide them their own private room as well as put some pet gates up give the cats a place to escape to. Introductions and interactions with my pets will always be supervised until I know everyone is comfortable.

“We are very pleased with the care Thomas provided for our kitty Mieze. When he returned our house key, Mieze ran down the stairs to greet him. We can think of no better testimonial! Maria and Geoff”

“Kim was so sweet with my babies and they loved her immediately, which is not common for my pups. She saved me in a pinch after I moved, took great care of my girls, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands!! I’d recommend Kim without any hesitation!!”

About: Hi, my name is Amber-rae, I am 22 years old and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve cared for everything from barnyard animals to beloved family pets since I was 9 years old. Dogs have always been by my side, and I welcomed my very own pup into my life at just 10 years old. With a lifetime of experience, I know how to keep tails wagging, paws moving, and pets happy, safe, and loved. We’ve got two beautiful boy cats at home who are our only pets at the moment. But i often care for my mothers dogs, she has 6 of them, four little Havaneese and two giant mastiffs At home our cats have free roam or the house and are only sometimes locked in their bedroom (the bathroom) because that’s where their food and litter box is. They’re given plenty snuggles and love, especially from my daughter, they love to play and cuddle on her bedroom floor. As for a clients animal, I will follow whichever routine is given for each animal (cat or dog) Whether it’s playing fetch, simply feeding them or going for a walk.

“We appreciate Heather and so does our kitty,Minnie. She keeps in touch with us and sends pictures. Minnie's food and water bowls are full and litter box is clean. Our time away is stress free knowing Heather is caring for our precious kitty. Thank you Heather!”

I love hikes and would love to have the company of your dog with me! 🖤 I am a fulltime artist, so I have a pretty flexible schedule I am able to work around. I am available for daily or weekly walks and occasional house sitting. Care in my home: Always access to clean water and having multiple water locations, my cats have scheduled breakfast and dinner aswell. A clean litter box and fun toys, proper scratching trees are very important for a healthy and happy kitty. Alot of this applies to dogs aswell! Clean water, scheduled food and bathroom breaks throughout the day aswell as exercise.

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!

“Sarah took great care of our cat, always communicating and sending lots of pictures! Went above and beyond! Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Lisa was so good with our cats and I felt totally comfortable with her taking care of them. One of my cats is so shy, I wasn't sure if she would be able to meet him, but he warmed up to her pretty quickly.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.

About: I’m a farm raised girl with years of animal care practice, dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, and donkeys. I’ve always had pets in my life and claimed the role of family dog trainer. Pets are my happy place, and I love spending time loving on dogs and cats so their owner feels more comfortable leaving home. My dog Pongo is very special to me and I know the pain of leaving him behind when it’s necessary, and also know the joy of finding someone with a big heart to care for him when I’m gone. I’m that girl with the big heart that will love and care for your furry loved ones so you can be comfortable leaving home knowing they’re well cared for. I spent a year volunteering at West Sound Wildlife which gave me experience tending to wounded animals. I’m well versed in giving animals medications and following strict diets. My schedule is very flexible at the moment which means I’m able to make your animal a top priority. I work at a local restaurant but my shifts aren’t long, at most I’ll be out of the house for five to six hours. I love getting to know each pet, what their needs are, and how to best meet those needs while I care for them. If tons of love and snuggles are required I’m happy to oblige, but I also understand the different boundaries of each individual animal and how to navigate them to earn trust. My dog Pongo gets 4-5 walks per day, some are sniff walks for mental exercise, and others are to throw a stick in the woods for him to let some energy out.

About: I have years of experience petsitting and housesitting for family and friends. I love working with dogs of all sizes and enjoy caring for cats as well. I have experience volunteering as a dog-walker at Blue Mountain Humane Society and enjoy making fast friends with pets of all personalities. I also have a B.A. in Biology. I have a calm, gentle, and caring approach and I'll make sure your animal family members are safe and happy and your home is looked after with care while you're away. I am a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide pet care. I am looking to provide short-term petsitting, housesitting, and dog walking services. I am a reliable pet and house sitter who is happy to provide drop-in visits or extended care for your pets in your home as well as dog-walking. I am currently renting and cannot have pets in my own space so I look forward to giving your pets lots of care and attention.
