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!

About: I have petsitted and walked dogs for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 14. Which included feeding them, taking them for walks, and watching them. I am a college student and athlete, all my classes are online so I'm always at home for school work. I do however have wrestling practice for 2 hours every night during the week. I live in a trailor that is plenty big enough for pets of all sizes, there is a yard and lots of trails bear by for walks and to play outside.

About: I have always picked up pet sitting and walking gigs since I was young! I lived in an area where people needed a lot of house/pet sitting so I have watched pretty much every animal (even stick bugs) I grew up in the Seattle area, so I can guarantee that I am a trust worthy sitter. I also have a lot of past experience in childcare (I’ve taught English in Thailand and have also worked at a Children’s autism center) so that can show you that I am also kind, which is a very important character for a pet sitter in my opinion. I currently am only work 30 hours a week, my days off are Monday-Wednesday and I am available every day until 5. So I basically have the opposite schedule of what most people are working which is perfect :) I also live in an apartment with 2 small dogs (shitzu/poodle mixes) and 2 cats (tabby cats). I love them all, they all varie in ages and gender so I am very familiar with caring for animals and knowing what each individual animal requires, so that shows that I can also watch multiple pets at a time without worry :) Also I am a very fit person, I love getting outside in walks and in nature, but I also do like staying in and cooking or reading a book. So whether your pet wants to go adventure or just chillax, then I’m your girl!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since my first job at the vet at age 16. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats and horses. My friends and family rely on me to watch their babies when their out of town and care for them. I hope you can find trust in me with your babies. I make my own work schedule therefore leaving me available to pet sit whenever I want and am available. I’m available mostly weekends Thursdays - Sundays. But will keep my calendar updated for during the week as well. I have a six foot fenced yard, my pets are fed twice a day and water is cleaned and rinsed daily and in the middle of the day. There is a doggy door, so dogs come and go to use the restroom.

My animals are well taken care of, spoiled if you will. My dog gets special cookies from the pet store to encourage him to eat. With lots of love and affection, attention and exercise.

About: I love animals so I will create genuine connections with your pets. Since I was very young animals have been my happy place more than anything. I love bathing, walking, grooming and caring for animals of all types. Ive always tried to help stray animals or lost animals and love welcoming new animals into my home and heart. I'm looking to work from home completely so I will have plenty of time to hangout with your pets and fulfill their needs. I love taking animals with me on errands and finding new places to take walks. We are looking to fence our entire yard on our almost .50 of an acre property. Plenty of running room and near multiple parks. In the house animals are free to roam and there is not many things they can damage. I'm respectful and responsible especially in other people's space. I follow instructions very well and always take others into consideration before action.

I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life, helped neighbors with their animals, both with house visits and making sure their animal friends get proper exercise.

I'm at student at The Evergreen State College and currently have classes three days a week, I'm looking to work with animals while I learn more about them. I'm very flexible and can work with your needs. I will ensure your animal friends have a proper and comfy place while your gone, insuring your pets have a good climate, don't get too cold or too warm. I will wash and refill both the food and water when needed, provide brushing for dogs with longer coats. Take them outside if allowed for backyard runs, play time, emotional support and supervision.

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 has been amazing!! She was available very last minute (the day before) when I needed someone to walk my newly adopted dog. She’s been an amazing communicator, willing to do the little things like wipe my dogs paws after a walk or use the same command words that I use for my dogs. The photos of her walks are an extra touch that warms my heart. Would definitely recommend Veronica for your animal needs.

About: Pets are not just an accessory to show off or toss to the side at the end of the day. They are an everyday cast member to our lives and a part of our families! My love for animals has stemmed from a lifetime of being around animals growing up in a farm town and I will ensure your furry family members feel loved, safe and cared for while you’re away! I currently work part time so my schedule is very flexible! I would be able to adjust my part time work as needed to better fit your schedule if need be! I have a fenced backyard for your puppers/doggos to run around and play in as well as a decent sized covered porch area for us to hang out and cool off under from playtime! If you crate trained your animals I do not have any crates at my home so if you would like them to remain in crates during an overnight stay I would ask that you bring a crate please and thank you! In clients home I will care for your furry ones to ensure they don’t feel as if they are unsafe in their own home!

Lacey, WA, 98513

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.

Alisha has been the best with our high-needs part-husky, Zorra! Great communication, worked us into her schedule when both my husband and I started having knee/back issues. Alisha made fast friends with Zorra and it's great to see our dog so happy and excited to go walkies, and so happy and tired when she returns. We highly recommend Alisha!
