Pet Sitting in Patricks Point

“Amanda took care of our home and cats for multiple weeks while we were out of country; she was attentive during our orientation and made sure to pay attention to each one. Useful since two of them don't get along. When we got home the litter was scooped and messes were swept. Incidental messes like hairballs were cleaned up and reported on during her daily write ups. We had a remote camera set up in the living room (we informed her about) and our check ins always showed us how she took care to ensure our local escape artist was shooed from the door with care and safety in mind. Would definitely hire again.”

About: I took care of 'Beau', a very large white American Retriever. He is the sweetest! I was temporary mom to Elsie, a huuuuuge Great Dane lady. You can see images of me and Elsie in my profile. I took care of a home and Chester (Tabby Male Kitty), Luna (Black Female Kitty) and their dog sister SnoBella. I watched these 3 for several months while their mama was recovering from illness. You can see images of SnoBella, Chester, Luna and I walking. The kitties loved to walk with SnoBella and me. I am also a plant mom. My own home — which is cared for by my daughter when I'm gone — contains 3 indoor trees and over 10 live plants, as well as a Gardyn indoor garden. I consider my plants also sort of my babies and will take care of yours as well. I work remotely, which allows me to spend much of the day with the pets in my care. Because I'm home throughout the day, I can provide companionship, maintain their normal routine, and keep a close eye on their well-being. Many pets enjoy relaxing nearby while I work, whether that's a cat curled up in my lap or a dog snoozing by my desk. If your pet is allowed outside I sometimes enjoy sitting on the patio and letting them roam the yard while I work. I keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible. My day includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, pets often keep me company throughout the day, whether that's a cat in my lap or a dog at my feet. If approved by the pet parent, I'm also happy to let pets sleep with me so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: I love taking long walks in the woods, bike riding, and running with pups! If your dog needs a lil extra energy release, (or not) I'm your person. I have no other pets, and will give your dog the attention they deserve. I work in the evenings, so can walk from 10AM-4:00PM WED/THURS/FRI. I always walk anyway, or go for a run, so incorporating a furry friend seems perfect. I have a new(er) pickup truck, that has a plush dog bed in the back for your critter. If they have car-anxiety, I've got a blanket in the cab for them.

About: Grew up with family dogs, and strategically made friends with cats so I could pretend they were mine. Currently I have a 7 year old goldendoodle who has taught me a TON about training dogs in the 6 years I've had him. Your good boy will enjoy every smell on our walk and get some (owner approved) treats along the way, and I'm happy to continue your work on any behaviors you're encouraging! My schedule is pretty much wide open for north county visits (McKinleyville and up) - feel free to reach out with same day requests! Further afield than that I may need some notice, but am happy to work something out! Just send me a message. I'm a pretty "safety first," cautious dog owner. I'll follow your instructions to the letter, and will err on the side of caution. I like to take the time to get to know your critters, and let them get to know me so that it's always exciting when I show up! For interested dog owners, I can facilitate a meet with my own dog for a double walk or a dog park playmate - after a meet and greet to make sure they get along.

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and fish gave me the right mindset to make responsible decisions when I started pet sitting professionally over 20 years ago. Over the course of my extensive experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many other pets and taking care of their homes as well. I have experience with reptiles, amphibians, birds as well as small mammals like rabbits and rodents. I’m comfortable administering medications and am accountable to keep to any routines/rules/training guidelines in place. I truly cherish how unique each and every animal is, and would love to connect with you and share the joy of knowing your pet! I am available for dog walking and/or drop in visits 7 days a week - for overnight sitting, I am currently open for the winter holidays! Let’s discuss your needs and if it’s a good fit, we can organize a meet & greet. I’m obsessively knowledgeable about the hidden dangers to pets in everyday life and will always use my keen attention to protect your pets from harm. I’m well versed in training methods for dogs if your pup has been learning, and with any animals I am extremely aware of safety protocols when handling/caring for them. I am a neat and tidy person who has had many wonderful experiences house sitting and watching over the animals while their humans were away - I am reliable to follow any and all instructions, and dependable to be actively spending time with your pets. Photo updates are always included! :)

About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been a part of my life. Dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, sheep, horses, you name it, I’ve taken care of them. I’ve raised and trained puppies, cared for elderly pets and everything in between. Large or small, I love them all I am retired so my time is very flexible. From a short drop-in to check on your pet to a long- term house sitting assignment, my schedule is open. When caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to respect your privacy and to diligently follow your instructions. Your pets needs are my top priority

“Stari is awesome. She’s very responsive and thorough. We had a cat recovering from an injury while we were away, and she did an excellent job keeping an eye in him and keeping us informed about his progress. This is the third time we’ve booked Stari and will happily book her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since I was a young girl and knew my life would be dedicated to them. I then became a vet tech in 2018 and have loved being able to take care of them medically as well. I have gained so much knowledge of healthcare and husbandry ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors of all kinds of breeds and personalities to give your fur baby the best. I’m very familiar with most health conditions and comfortable with all medications(oral/injection) I am also responsive and prepared when health concerns or even emergencies come up. I have my own vet tech kit to treat minor injuries and illnesses but will always seek the appropriate medical care if necessary.I am also happy to provide basic grooming like bathing brushing and even nail trims ( all if they are comfortable with it) free of charge if requested. Your pet will be in the most excellent hands, I will always do everything in my power to keep them safe happy and healthy and I will love spending time with them. I am very professional reliable and you can rest easy knowing your pets are in my care and I will always keep you updated. I cannot wait to meet you and your pets as they will be treated like my own ( royal treatment for sure 👑) I’m just taking relief shifts as a vet tech currently and have a flexible schedule for pet sitting. When I’m taking care of your pets they are my number one priority. I will always care for your pets as my own and will always do everything I can to make sure they are comfortable happy and safe. I spoil my senior dog Curley and I always do the same for you pups no doubt. I always check in for mental and physical wellness 24/7 and make adjustments as needed.

About: I have always had animals as pets in my life. I care for your babies as if they were mine. I am gentle and very caring person. I take pride in my work and would love to meet your pets.

About: I am a grounded and compassionate person, who absolutely loves animals! Dogs and cats are my specialty, but have cared for goats , chickens and bunnies! Ive been filling my free time dog/cat walking and house sitting for the last 6 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. I connect right away with my fury customers and they are always excited to see me. I provided daily walks, plenty of play time, treats for tricks and lots of love . My schedule is usually open and I am able to overnight house sit if needed. I think your furrbaby would be overjoyed to have me as there care giver and friend! My schedule is open at the moment, and im always looking for any chance i can get to play with animals. My calendar is always up to date and my response time is within a couple hours. Animals have special kind of souls, they speak to us without words and unconditionally love us. I try to read what your animal needs and comfort them while you are away. Every animal is different and comes with their own personality, i like to nurture that part of them while helping them feel safe and loved.

“Thank you.”

About: I've had animals all of my life. My parents kept getting me more animals because they said as long I was taking good care of them, then I could get more. I would keep journals about their well being( Funny, I know) The point is, I love animals. I have had dogs,puppies, cats, lizards, hamsters, chickens, horses, ferrets, and chameleons, I have 2 dogs of my own and they are my children. It's of the utmost importance to me that any animal under my care feels very loved, and taken care of. I know it can be traumatic being away from your animal, and it can create anxiety. I will do my best to make sure your baby is feeling good and happy! I currently make my own schedule and own my own massage therapy business. The further in advance I know about the sitting job, the more of a chance I will have of being able to clear my schedule for it. My schedule is pretty flexible! I will follow the directions you give me to a T. I know our animals get used to routine, so I will do my best not to disrupt that routine. I am hands on, and want to make sure any animal I care for feels loved and paid attention to.

“I am so grateful for Ashley’s understanding and care. She was willing to extend her time to help care for Midnight while I was taking care of a personal matter. I look forward to hiring her again.”

I truly love caring for animals and I hope to be able to help you ease the worry while you’re away. I also offer house sitting. I’ve worked as a property manager and a care taker so your home will be well taken care of while you’re away.

You’re home, animals, and plants will be safe with me!

“Hailey was so sweet to our beloved cat, and she went above and beyond to get an item from the store when it ran out. We’ll definitely keep her in mind the next time we need a sitter!”

About: I’ve had a few pets throughout my life including dogs, cats, and even a bird at one point! I’ve also watched and looked after my friend’s pets over the years while they were away! I’m currently in my last semester of college and i’m only taking 4 classes! Every day except for Wednesday's i’m done with school at 2pm so I have the whole afternoon to walk, play, and check on your pet! I also have availability on Sundays as well which is a whole day of being able to look after your and care for your pet! I care for pets by making sure they’ve had time to play, make sure they are well fed and stocked up on water, and they have the opportunity to go to the bathroom. On walks I always make sure to be extra careful while walking near busy streets, i’m cautious of other animals and pets and read their body language as well as my clients to ensure everyones safety, and ensure that your pet isn’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to while on a walk or in the home!

About: Dogs are more than pets, they are part of the family. I have always loved animals, and I will love yours just the same. Life can get busy! It's important to make sure your fur baby feels loved even when their owners are away. I am responsible and active. I would love to take your pup along with me as I run and hike around the beautiful PNW terrain! I want to make sure that I create a personal connection with your dog and with you to ensure that I offer the best care for your dog! I have grown up around dogs, and I understand that each one has their own quirks and personalities. In addition, I love all animals and am eager to look after cats, rabbits, chickens... you name it! Thanks! I look forward to taking care of your pup!

“Vanessa was amazing with my shy kitty!! Summer usually takes a long time to open up to new people but she loved Vanessa right away :’) highly recommend this sweet and responsible sitter!!”
