Dog Sitting Port Townsend

About: Over most of my childhood and adulthood I have pet sat for neighbors and friends. I have watched all types of dogs and even exotics. So I like to say I’m pretty well versed with all types of pets and their care. I have administered medications, dog walking, feeding, mini training sessions, cleaned litter boxes, kept the pets on a routine, and most of all showed them all my love and attention. PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING!😊🐶🐱 PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING! I’m currently looking for a part time job and would love to fit pet sitting into my schedule. My weekends are usually open for watching over your fur babies and sometimes during the work week. I work Monday -Thursday at my full time and have a three day weekend. My hours are 7:40am - 6:00pm with a two hour lunch which leaves me time to still check on pets. I definitely ask a lot of questions about your dog or cats routine and what they are used to so it’s not super stressful. I would love to get to know your pet first so they are used to me and aren’t scared. What kind of treats they like or if they have any restrictions.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!

“Jennifer came twice a day to take care of our cat, Jack. She shared pictures, and communicated updates, and made me feel more comfortable being away for a few days. Will definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve had a pet (or 20) as long as I can remember but I’ve been working in the pet field professionally for 6 years now. Everything from fostering, pet care, dog training, dog walking & sitting, & working in a shelter. I also work with TNR everywhere I go. I love my scaly & feathered friends as well; I have experience across the board. I’m comfortable with bottle babies, seniors, pets with special needs (can administer most medications), & pets with high anxiety/reactivity. My schedule is completely freed up while I prepare for a cross country move so I have endless time to tend to your pets :) I strive to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away! Whether that means sticking to a detailed schedule, maintaining training expectations, or simply providing extra playtime and cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to accommodate most special instructions and quirks that help your pet feel comfortable and secure.

About: I am home full time with a large beautiful fenced yard and an English Labrador that loves to play. I only book one client at a time so they get treated like family. No kennels and no concerns about being around unknown dogs. Buckaroo is also very well behaved with older dogs that do not want to play! I am home full time, available for boarding and daycare. Daily walks included as well as time in the yard to play. I only accept one client at a time so there is less stress and they are treated like family. I have a large fenced yard as well as my own dog that loves to play. Your dog will be with me throughout the day both inside and out. Mine likes to follow me everywhere. Velcro Dog! Your fur baby will be treated the same as mine! Because I have both a cat and dog in the home I cannot accept any dogs with aggressive behavior. Please keep this in mind when requesting boarding. All boarding request will require a meet and greet to insure safety. Thank you!

About: I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment. I’m patient, reliable, and always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs gentle care, I adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable. Im currently working remotely and part time, so I have plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine. Great help for you and for me I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and happy. I keep a consistent routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet rest periods. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level, and adjust activities to fit their personality.

“We highly recommend working with Su-Ling! Communication was very easy, and we were reassured to leave our puppy in such good hands! It was great to receive regular updates and photos during her stays with the pup. We will most definitely work with her again in the future! 5 stars!”

This allows me to be home throughout the day to provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and care for your dog. In our home, we know that playtime and companionship are essential. Your dog will sleep indoors in a crate or kennel and spend most of the day with our family in our downstairs living area. They'll have access to our fully fenced backyard throughout the day for potty breaks, fetch, and plenty of time to run and play. We also enjoy regular walks around our neighborhood, and your dog will receive lots of love, attention, and care while they're with us.

About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age, and I have been a professional sitter and boarder for a little over 3 years now. I recently moved to the area and am looking to rebuild my clientele. I am an animal advocate who has spent a lot of time volunteering with different agencies to help find forever homes for abandoned fur babies, and working for programs that went out and helped the homeless get the right care for their pets. I have experience with hyper pets, shy pets, large and small. I love them all the same. Let me spoil your babies while you’re away, and take comfort in knowing that they are safe and loved with me. I am currently an online student and doing a part time work from home job, so I will be home and available for them all day besides appointments or errands I have a large fenced yard that I make sure to walk the perimeter of to make sure there are no escape points. I also have a huge deck for them to lounge on and they have free roam of my home. I do have a toddler in the home, she is very shy with animals and has grown up learning the importance of being gentle and nonintrusive with them.

'm just doing what I love to do. and that's taken care of Animals. so I'm always free to give your pet that extra love it need and deserve. I have a large fenced backyard and plenty of love to give to your fur baby, with a family full of dog lovers My yard is kept up on all natural flea/tick treatment (wondercide) to assure your pet is safe from nasty critters. I believe in making pets comfortable by providing them with their own personal space that they can go to without being bothered if they get to feeling uncomfortable. Needless to say I treat all pets like family and do every tactic I know to make them feel right at home.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the past three years, I've helped raise and care for three family dogs, including puppies, and I've regularly looked after dogs for family members and friends. Those experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether a dog enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply taking things at a slower pace, I'm patient, dependable, and happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. While I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing every dog with the same care, attention, and respect I'd give my own. I currently work part-time, so I have the most availability Monday through Thursday, occasionally Fridays and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and many evening walks. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and appreciate booking in advance whenever possible. Once your walk is scheduled, you can count on me to arrive on time, communicate clearly, and give your dog the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. If my availability ever changes, I'll let you know as soon as possible. I treat every dog as if they were my own because I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone's pet. Safety is always my top priority, and I carefully follow each owner's instructions and routine. I'm patient with shy dogs, energetic with playful dogs, and always adapt to each dog's personality and comfort level. I'll communicate throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I am a pet aficionado. Since I was born my family has had seven Newfoundland dogs (2 at a time), a cat and two rabbits with the occasional fish. I take my dog to the dog park every morning, and love getting active and dirty with her. I have done childcare for sixteen years and taken care of the pets in others homes during this period. From chihuahuas, to horses, to the occasional corn snake and the everyday house cat, I truly enjoy all animals. Dogs just hold a special place in my heart from how social they are, their distinct personalities and all the stress relief from interacting with them, cats because relaxing with a pur or being entertained by a spaz is truly unrivaled and rabbits because their sassy demeanor and cuteness are so much fun. I am doing remote work and my schedule currently is variable as needed. Therefore, I can mostly accommodate the requirements of any client in this regard. I have loved animals since a child, adopting from farms and rescue agencies as well as coordinating with animal welfare organizations. It's genuinely something I enjoy and love to do. I have daily exercise classes for 1-3 hours I will be attending and occasional errands / personal affairs, please expect 3-5 hours potentially away depending on the day. Please note Rover has the settings for 1-4 hour windows of left alone time as the minimum for a purpose; 24 hours for extended periods (days to weeks) for 1 person is not feasible. I will truly spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet, however for quality assurance purposes, bookings expecting 24 hour supervision for the entire sit will not be accepted. Please note indoor cameras and recording devices are illegal in Washington state without 2 party consent. I will not consent due to the nature of my remote work and the jeopardization of my career / long term income. Outdoor cameras are fine. Supervision, double checking locks, bolts and other safety infrastructure and keeping all emergency contacts and expert animal/home security experts on hand. Also person and animal CPR certified. I can guarantee you will come home to a sparkling home, a happy pet, and everything in better condition than you left it. My goal is for you to come home stress free and leaving your animal loved ones in trusted and competent care.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for quite some time. I have done multiple overnight stays for family friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. I also am a regular with drop by visits and even taking dogs out for a walk while their owners are at work. I love to take dogs for long walks or even on runs if they have the energy! If some dogs need longer walks (1+ hours), I will be happy to take them longer. Pet care fits into my routine as an important part of my daily life. I work from home and am committed to providing the best possible care for the pets I take care of. Throughout the day when I take care of pets (whether at my home or clients home), I send lots of photos to the owners to give them updates throughout the day, sometimes a little too much! I do work from home, therefore I am able to provide more one-on-one care. I will make it my priority to make sure they are safe, fed, have lots of cuddles, went to the bathroom, etc. On top of that, when I stay over at a client's home, it is important for myself to keep it cleaner than when I first walked into the home. I also respect house rules and other necessities that were discussed before giving care.
