“Luna had a great stay with Tiffany! She has a very comfortable setup and a nice fenced space for pups to play. She sent pics during Luna’s stay so that I could see how Luna was doing. Plus, Tiffany has a warm friendly demeanor. I would definitely book with her again.”


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.

“First day at doggy daycare! My dog is young and untrained for the most part, so she’s a bit of a handful. Sitter worked out well, would recommend and will communicate to possible schedule future appts.”


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.

“Connie and her mom were so helpful letting Crosby stay with them last minute for a few hours. Looks like Crosby enjoyed his time and got along well with the other pups!”



“The best thing I can say is that when Guppy came back for his second day of doggie daycare, he was thrilled to be back! Thomas seems to really understand dogs and is obviously a great resource!”


“I have a super anxious chihuahua who never trusts strangers and barks at everyone he meets for the first time. But he did so amazingly well with Bree! We are totally impressed and elated to have had such an awesome experience. She put us at ease before we even dropped our two pups off, assuring us of her experience and love for chihuahuas. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the day. We will definitely hire her again!”


About: Pets are family! Taking care of them is one of the most rewarding experiences and provides unconditional love. I have been around numerous animals my entire life, and currently have 3 dogs! Daisy, Luka and Honey! I love being outside, walking, hiking and playing fetch on our 2.5 acre property. I always have time for pets! I work Monday-Friday but am available after 3pm or on weekends. I also offer boarding and there is always someone home for our fur babies! I have a fenced 2.5 acre property and 3 friendly, loving and playful dogs to keep your baby company!

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I lived on a working farm for 10 years with horses, Alpacas, sheep, birds, dogs & cats. After retiring from Dental field boarding dogs and cats is what I wanted to do and so I am now doing what I love. Belly rubs and kisses! We transformed our shop into a doggie play area. We have indoor and out door play area. I also play with dogs and offer open play environment. This is my full time job now. I have room for 8 dogs. Dogs do not stay in my house unless I only have one. They stay in our Lodge. Safe, warm, and cozy. Dogs must be friendly with humans & other dogs. I have 8 sleep lodges for dogs and they can have private time if needed, or if a dog doesn't get along with another they can have private outside time and private feeding. I can do day or overnight. We live on 28 acres in the country. I take dogs on leash walks, so they are worn out when you pick up. I have 3 cat lodges.

About: Just a stay at home mom of a child who's been around dogs and cats since she was born. looking to make some extra income for our family in our area. We live on a mini farm and have experience with all sorts animals. We have 3 dogs and 5 cats. Willing to do some dogs walks and feeding and basic checkup care during the week days. I'm always home, besides basic errands. I homeschooling my 6 year old and take care of our mini farm animals. We have indoor and outdoor cats as well. I'm already in routine of daily feeding of our dogs and let them go potty. Our 3 spend most their time outside in or out of the fenced area. They walk with us everywhere. I make trips into town and can take care of your pups at your home for a walk, bath, or trip to a park. I just don't do overnights at someone's home right now. At our home we have options for small dogs or puppies to stay inside with us, or large dogs to stay outside in fenced area during day or in a large kennel run overnight. Kennel run has a cover and water inside with a dog house. Puppies would be inside and if not potty trained they'd sleep in a crate and let out to potty at night or after naps. Daughter would play with puppy or small dogs all day. Large dogs would get to play with our large dogs and run in field to catch balls, sticks and frizbies. We will feed and there is always water available. If your dog is a runner let us know and we will keep extra watch and not allow outside of the fenced area. We are far from any main roads and at the end of a gravel road which is a good few hundred or more feet from a paved road. If we come to your home to care, we will follow whatever instructions you have for your pups and can keep communication with pictures and texts as often as you'd like.

Beibei C.
“Beibei truly loves animals, I've seen her go the extra mile to help animals out all the time. She grouses some about her own dog, but I've seen her always step up to take care of it. She takes her dog out for walks 3 or 4 times a day and made a dog jacket for her so she would not be cold in winter. I would trust her with my dog anytime!”
