About: Hi! I’m Caryn (CAR-in), a former zookeeper, professional animal trainer, and lifelong dog lover. With over a decade of professional experience working with animals, from marine mammals and birds to large carnivores, I now focus my passion and expertise on providing compassionate, confidence-building care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve worked with the Seattle Aquarium, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and Seattle Humane Society, and I bring a strong foundation in behavior observation, positive reinforcement training, and safe medication handling to every pup I meet. At home, I share life with two dogs who fill my days with joy, gentle chaos, and the kind of perspective only a dog can offer: Tucker, our 65 lb. soulful and cuddly Boxador who happens to be dog-reactive, and Cooper, our 40 lb. playful Hound/Boxer/Boston mix who proudly strutted his stuff in the 2023 Puppy Bowl. Living with a reactive dog has deepened my understanding of behavior, communication, and how powerful patience and empathy can be. I also had the honor of growing alongside Max, our beloved senior miniature schnauzer, who lived to 18 and reminded me daily of the grace and tenderness senior dogs deserve. I offer tailored, loving care for your pet, whether they're curious puppies discovering the world or seasoned seniors needing extra comfort and support. Outside of pet care, I’m an artist and nature lover who enjoys trail running, exploring, and creating artwork inspired by nature. I bring that same sensitivity and presence into every visit, tuning in to the little quirks and big personalities that make each dog unique. From enrichment games to cozy snuggles or jogs around the block, I’m here to provide experienced, heartfelt care tailored just for your dog. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, focused care throughout the day. I'm available every day between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM for walks, runs, play sessions, check-ins, and quiet companionship - whatever suits your pet’s needs and energy level. I also offer overnight support for pets who need extra comfort or someone nearby after dark. Whether your pet thrives on enrichment and exercise or just needs a steady, reassuring presence, I’ve got you covered. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the heart of every visit. In your home, I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routines, preferences, and emotional needs, from where they feel safe resting to how they like to be approached. Whether I’m providing enrichment, administering medication, or simply offering a calming presence, I always prioritize gentle communication, consent-based interactions, and low-stress handling. My background in behavior observation and positive reinforcement helps me read subtle cues and respond thoughtfully, especially with nervous, reactive, or senior pets. Everything I do, from locking up carefully to maintaining clean, familiar routines, I care for your pet and home as if they were my own. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I’m always happy to share a note or photo about your pet’s day, if that brings you peace of mind.

“Amanda is so sweet and takes extra care when it comes to pups. Our little nuggets, Apollo and Cassie, adore her and she was really accommodating to their different on-leash walking styles. Thank you, Amanda!”

About: Hello! My name is Sage and I'm a 27 years old and recently moved back from Oregon! I have been house sitting and dog sitting for about 5.5 years now so I have experience with all kinds of pups, including diabetic dogs! I get along with just about every dog, and I will always treat yours with kindness. I have a very calm attitude and am able to deal with dogs of all energy levels, and will be sure they get all the exercise they need. I am available just about any day/time of the week, I have an open schedule and am willing to walk your pup any old time! I will also make sure to send pics and constantly communicate so you know your pup is in good hands! Currently I do not have a full time job, so I am constantly helping out my friends/family with their pets and take care of them at least once a week. I also have a wonderful cat who I take care of daily and before my pup Cassie passed that was also a huge part of my life. Currently I have a fenced yard with a great open space. I don’t plan on watching any pups over here unfortunately, but if needed I do have a great and safe outside space for the pups.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. While the dogs I have had have all been large breeds I am happy to work with any! My current dog is a senior so they hold a special place in my heart but I do love playful and rambunctious puppies just as much. I am always happy to entertain the fickle antics of grumpy cats. I'm a middle school teacher back on rover to make ends meet so my schedule this summer is ready for a lot of dog walking and check ins except for from 6-10PM on Wednesdays. I will happily feed your pets, give them water, and play with them. I will also take your pets out to use the potty or change their litter boxes as necessary.

“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”

About: I am passionate about dogs and all animals. Your pup will have a safe and fun experience with a large fenced yard and plenty of attention. I will be free all day, all week. I work month on, month off in the maritime industry so during my time off I will be at home and available for pet care. Your pet will be free to roam in the large, private fenced in yard. They will have shade and plenty of water and attention. Evergreen park is a short distance away and a perfect place for walks.

“my girls love solace so much it’s such a relief to know she’s going to be coming by to take care of them on my long work days. the pictures and videos she sends make my day! i wish i had the money for her to come every day, just to make my doggy happy haha”

About: I love animals and dogs especially. Growing up, my family always had 2 or more animals in the house at all times. Cats, dogs, birds, gerbils, ferrets, bunnies, you name it! My schedule is very flexible since I'm a stay at home mom; it's just me, my 4 month old, & my 2 dogs (small&medium sized). I'd prefer afternoon visits/walks. I am not available for overnight stays at other peoples homes but we allow other dogs in our home if need be. I'm currently a stay at home mom and the only time I get out is for baby's monthly check ups or our daily afternoon walk with my own pups and we would love to have more come along. All owner must provides leash, collar, food, medication (if needed) dog bowls, crate, & something comforting from home: like a special toy, or a blanket. We usually have lots of treats but if you have special treats you're more than welcome to add that to the bag and I'll be sure they get some! I live in a small friendly neighborhood in port orchard, next to a park with lots of trails and fields for running around if its not raining. I have a huge backyard and two friendly dogs at home if your pup wants to play. I'm a full time mom, so I won't be able to stay overnights anywhere, but I surely don't mind visiting pets in their own home where they're comfy. I'm a tidy person and will always respect your home.

About: I love meeting new pets and discovering their personalities. I originally grew up with a couple of cats and a dog. I currently have 3 big dogs myself and they all have their own unique quirks and behaviors, but I love them all the same. I've dealt with the old and the young. The warmth (and frustrations) of a new family member and the heartbreak of saying goodbye to the ones who I've had the privilege of looking after and loving for years. I have experience changing diapers and laying out potty pads for the puppies who are still being trained and for the elder dogs who don't have as much control with their bladders as they used to. I have experience taking as many as 4 big dogs on walks or to the dog park. I love going to the dog park and socializing my furry kids, as well as watching them get out as much energy as they can. My current work schedule is fairly flexible. I'm currently available during the day to pop in and take your pets on walks, to the park, feed them as needed or to just hang out with them and check-in on their wellbeing. My weekends are usually wide open. Comfortability and safety is my goal. I want your pets to feel comfortable and safe with me or my pets, just as I would want you to feel comfortable trusting in me to keep your loved ones safe under my supervision. I've had friends and family drop their loved ones off to be watched after by me and my wife, and we've trusted them to do the same if we're out of town for any reason. I've had to deal with temperamental dogs that may need to be separated from each other while toys or food are around, or if they just need some time in order to get comfortable with each other. I have experience giving pets medications and having to look after other health complications they may have.

“So attentive to our dogs needs and goes above and beyond. Communicates often with us and we can tell she genuinely cares about is and our dogs. Thank you so much.”

“Janice was awesome with our pup! Took Kona on a long walk and she came back happy and ready to nap. We’ll definitely be booking with Janice again.”

About: I have provided pet-sitting services in the greater Puget Sound region for the past five years (although things did slow down a bit due to the pandemic!), with references to prove it! In addition, I have cared for my own and my family's pets for the past 15 years. I'm currently a full-time college student and all of my classes are online this quarter, which allows for frequent walks for your doggos, and to feed your animals on whatever schedule is required. As mentioned above, I have only one class I must attend in person for two hours per week on Thursday evenings. I also attend recovery meetings (I'm sober, that's a huge bonus for you as well!), although I don't necessarily have to go to those if I need to be with your fur babies. Other than my one class per week, everything else is negotiable. This is all up to the client. I appreciate detailed instructions prior to services, but I know that the most important things are plenty of walks and exercise, especially for younger and more energetic breeds. I don't own a car, so if there's a park nearby you'd like me to take your dogs to that's in walking distance, that's great. Otherwise I've had clients let me use their vehicles with no problems.

About: I currently own a dog and one cat. I love animals of any kind and would love to care for yours. I am a compassionate, loving, kind animal lover who knows how to play and care for our furry friends. I have cared for friends animals in the past and would love to extend that comfort and care out to other pet owners that need it. I am semi retired and open any day of the week. I am an early riser so mornings are good, along with evenings. Weekends work too. I have a fenced yard to care for your furry friend, and a small Yorkie Poo who would love the company and companionship of another animal. I would love to share my home and time with your friendly companion. References are available.

“I needed Sarah again spontaneously as I woke up sick. She helped out and Rico was so happy to see her again. Easy communication and procedure.”

Darline J.

“Sarah has been absolutely amazing with Quattro! Her reliability and genuine love for dogs shines through in everything she does. She maintained perfect communication setting up last minute walks, and brings a energetic attitude and punctuality that makes a huge difference. What truly sets Sarah apart is how she treated Quattro like her own family member, going above and beyond with walks and attention. Her professionalism, combined with her warm personality, made the entire experience stress-free. I could fully relax knowing Quattro was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker.”
