Pet care experience

Fun, Safe Walks & Pet Sitting

I’ve been caring for dogs for over a decade, starting with my own beagle who taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and love. I also volunteered as a dog walker at the Kitsap Humane Society, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including those who were shy, energetic, or needed extra care. What sets me apart is my calm and confident approach, as well as my ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between—and I always treat every pet like they’re family.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow any instructions closely, maintain clean, pet-friendly spaces, and always keep an eye on their behavior and surroundings. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure environments, and ensuring pets are never exposed to unnecessary stress or risk.

John was wonderful to work with! Very good with my shy little Aussie, followed care instructions to the letter. Will definitely be hiring him again.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my schedule around giving pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or extended stay, I make sure pets are never rushed and always cared for with patience and love.

It’s always helpful to know about your pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and any medical needs or behavioral triggers. Do they love other dogs? Are they shy, energetic, or food motivated? The more I know, the better I can keep them safe, happy, and feeling right at home during our time together.
