“Ashley was absolutely fabulous to work with and took excellent care of Henry and KiKi. She updated us daily while we were on vacation with pictures. She is very dependable and we will not hesitate to hire her again when we leave. Thanks so much Ashley!”


About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I know just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry baby. 🐶 Whether it’s a daily walk, an overnight stay, or just some extra playtime while you’re away, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care for every pup I meet.🥰 I treat every dog like my own offering plenty of belly rubs, exercise, and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. I can administer medication if needed and always prioritize safety, comfort, and fun. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away your dog will be in caring, capable hands! Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. I have 3 sweet pups of my own that I manage daily 💜 I structure my day around the needs of the pets I have and care for whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding and cuddle time. I keep a detailed schedule to ensure all animals get the attention, exercise, and care they need at the right times. Because I prioritize flexibility, I'm able to adapt to each pet’s unique routine whether it's sticking to a strict medication schedule or providing extra playtime for high energy pups! In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and clean environment where they can relax and feel at home. They have access to cozy sleeping areas, supervised playtime, regular walks, and lots of love and attention. I follow their usual feeding, potty, and medication schedules to keep them happy and stress free. Social dogs can enjoy play with others, while more reserved pets get quiet time and one on one care.

About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, birds, cats, bunnies and even wildlife such as raccoons. I’ve always been a big animal lover. I’m currently a college student just looking to take care of some fur-babies in my free time. I am a college golfer but I do have a lot of free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also willing to make time on weekends. I will treat the dog like it is my own child, I think our pets are more than just animals, they are our family as well.

“Jodi was amazing from the start to the end! Communication was quick and easy. She left our house in the same condition we left it in. She updated me regularly with pictures. When we came home, our dogs seemed very content and weren’t that interested in us coming home! Will definitely book again!”


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.

About: I've been around & cared for cats and dogs all my life. I have privately been pet sitting for 4 families for over 8 years now! I will treat your babies like my own! I make my own schedule so I am available nearly all the time! Very flexible schedule and excited to get to know your sweet animals! I'm caring and patient with animals. I love snuggling the pets that want to be snuggled, but will always respect an animals need for space!

“Amanda is wonderful. She is responsive, punctual, professional, engaged, and responsible. You can tell she really wants to do a good job and cares about your pet. She had even looked up some training topics we discussed. I completely trust her in our home while we are away. Yara absolutely loved her. This energetic puppy was worn out and happy when we returned. It was clear they had a good time playing, and I think Yara was even a little better at dropping the ball during a fetch-game when we got back ... as opposed to playing keep-away :) I highly recommend Amanda.”


“We were so fortunate to have Koresa sit for our senior cat, Walter, while we were out of town. Walter has some health issues for which he needs daily medication and some extra TLC. Koresa was so conscientious and professional and devoted. We had great communication from her while we were away - we always knew Walter was in good hands. On our return, our home was spotless and we had a happy kitty who had made a new friend. He was bummed to see her go! We would be so pleased to have Koresa as our catsitter again.”

“We made a week-long trip to the beach with our travel trailer and 5 doggos. We hired Lanelle to stay with our pack while we had an anniversary dinner in town. Although Lanelle wasn't able to make it due to illness, she sent Austin, her adult son, to take her place. Our dogs immediately fell in love with Austin, especially Roy, our yellow lab. They got snacks and a thorough brushing, and we got pictures of everyone relaxed and chilling in the trailer, while we enjoyed a lovely dinner. We appreciate your time and efforts, and will definitely be in touch in the future!”


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!

“Megan is AMAZING!!! I seriously can't emphasize enough how awesome she truly is! My two toy poodles loved staying with her and making new friends :D I am a nervous wreck when it comes to leaving Addie and Wednesday behind on trips but Megan was very accommodating and sent me an updated everyday. She even administered medication for Addie. I will definitely be a repeat customer in the future and I am sure Addie and Wednesday can't wait to stay with Megan again :D THANK YOU SO MUCH MEGAN!”


About: Hello! My name is Shirin and I am a dog lover. About me: I've had large and small dogs my whole life, and fancy myself a bit of a dog whisperer. I live in Grays Harbor. I have tons of dog toys, a sweet and friendly Boxer boy who loves large breeds as much as small breeds. I know how hard it is to trust your furry friend with someone else, but you can be assured that I'm here for you as much as your companion! Let me know if you have any special requests so your dog has no confusion or break in routine while you're away. I love dogs and will be sure to treat yours with the best tender love and care! You can expect picture updates and lots of cuddles and love for your pup while you're away. I hope to meet your fur baby soon! Let me know your needs and I’ll see how I can arrange my schedule. I work from 8–12 on Mondays and Fridays, and am free on Saturdays and Sundays. I ensure that your personal rules for your pet are followed to the T. If I have any rules that are in place that you haven’t mentioned, I let you know what that looks like.

About: I am a former zookeeper who got her training and certification from a carnivore sanctuary and rescue. After that I pursued veterinary science and was hired at a local shelter in my hometown to be a veterinary assistant. With my training and knowledge I opened my own rescue and sanctuary for animals and have dedicated my life to helping them have a better life. I understand how hard owning a behavioral animal can be and I understand the love you have for them and that you want quality care you can trust. I am open for when you need me! I am a stay at home mom who also owns a rescue I don’t go anywhere much and always have my phone on me for when you need me. Trust me, I get the anxiety of leaving your fur baby! For walks, I can use a collar, or a harness or both depending on you pups care needs. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once, so if your dog has a sister/brother don’t leave them out! I carry a air horn on me, dog whistle, high value treats and a squeaky toy to ensure in case of a emergency I can distract or lure the dog back to safety or even get their attention when needed. I will specifically design the walk around YOUR pups and what works best for them. For reactive pups I will ensure we go areas that are more rural such as trail walks and hikes, private beaches, or even just a empty street l will absolutely ensure your best friend(s) are having the best walk ever! I will take a photo/ video guaranteed with every walk as well to show how much fun we had together!

“Ryan was super great at taking care of all four of our dogs. He communicated with me frequently and sent photos several times a day. At that time, he had to administer meds for Casper and deal with our 4 month old puppy which took a lot of extra effort. My dogs chilled out with Ryan and I highly recommend him.”
