House Sitting in Matlock

“Brittany was amazing. Lots of updates and pictures and Luci was able to be home even though we weren’t there. Luci is excited for the next visit!”

“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.”

“Victoria was on time and took great care of our 6 month old puppy Molly, who had never been left with anyone before. She kept up with Molly's high energy and frequent trips outdoors for walks and potty breaks, lots of playtime and even taught her a new trick. Molly was shy at first but Victoria was able to quickly make friends with her.”

About: Hi, I’m Jenni! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have 15+ years of hands-on experience with pets, along with previous experience working in the veterinary field. My background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and the importance of dependable care. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, senior pets, shy pets, and multi-pet households. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your pets are being treated like family. I proudly serve Mason, Kitsap, and Thurston County areas. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies! I love animals and they always fit into my daily routine and schedule. Animal care is so important. Fur babies are our everything and more! I will come to you guys so they are in the comfort of their own home. It makes it so much easier on them as well as you so no boarding kennels are needed

“Jakob is great with our dogs and respectful of our home.”

“Tara did a fantastic job on a rather unusual assignment that I had for her, which involved not only taking care of my adult dog and puppy at my house for three nights, but also taking care of my cousin’s puppy, also at my house during the same time, who had never previously met my dogs. She also had her own dog with her, making it a dog party of four! Everybody had a great time, and Tara sent us photos multiple times a day of the dogs playing and hanging out together. Will definitely be calling her again soon for further jobs!”

“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!”

Julie S.

“We had a good experience with Madisyn! The house was left spotless and communication throughout the stay was great — she sent updates, pictures and was easy to reach. Our one note is that she was out quite late one evening, which we weren't expecting. I'd recommend discussing schedules and expectations upfront, as she is a popular sitter with other jobs. I would still consider booking again, as we discussed that issue and she was very responsive. Thanks, Madisyn!”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own; my old man toy poodle Chai, big baby Baxter, and sweet lil mama Maisie! All of them are non aggressive, and love new friends. My husband is military, so as we travel, I have worked on rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need. I’ve been doing kennel boarding/daycare for some time now, but am looking to specialize in giving individualized love, care, and attention to each of my fuzzy friends! When caring for your pets, I treat them how I would my own fur babies! I have experience in a wide range of animals, energy level, personality, and emergency situations. I offer socialization training with my own babies, so they can have amazing friends to play with! I am working towards an animal CPR & FA certification, as well as taking courses to become a certified dog trainer. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time for taking care of your fur babies! I do regular potty breaks every 2 hours with scheduled activities throughout the day. All my kiddos are friendly and loving towards every new friend they meet! Your baby will be accepted as one of family in a well structured environment. Depending on every pups personal preference, I do slow distanced introductions and eventually close the gap till everyone is comfortable. Once introduced as friends, we can do all activities as a group!

“Veronica came to my rescue after my original sitter cancelled as we were on the road driving out of state. She kept me informed and was able to give my loveable pups the attention and care they needed. Will definitely book with her again the future!!”

Brittany H.

“The stay went really well. Joshua kept me updated and made sure our dogs were comfortable and well cared for. I appreciated the clear communication and would book again!”

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!

“Ariel did an amazing job taking care of my precious baby! She sent daily photos of my dog, and he was always smiling! It was great knowing that he was so well taken care of! I highly recommend!”

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.

“Quincy is amazing with animals. She is so kind and understands and appreciates all of their personalities. I cannot recommend Quincy highly enough, and I am so grateful that she was able to house and pet sit for us during a very stressful time.”

“Best experience ever! Frankie was super responsive, went way above and beyond with the care she provided for our kitties, and made our whole vacation so relaxing knowing they were safe and happy! She also did a great job taking care of our house and left it clean! We will definitely have her back next time! :)”

“Holly is an excellent sitter who I would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for a quick check in or for a longer stay. She watched my dogs for a week while I was across the country and she was communicative and went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were comfortable. I’ve used her multiple times in the past and it’s always been a great experience. Holly is also very flexible for emergencies and changes in schedules. I will continue to use her in the future!”

Mitchell G.

“Miles was communicative, on time, and took great care of our pups and house!”
