Dog Walkers in Port Townsend, WA

“I’m so glad that I found Eleanor!! She immediately bonded with my senior dog, Fig, and I can tell she takes such good care of her during their time together. She always sends pictures and thorough updates, and is very in tune with Fig’s needs. Thank you!!”

“If you’re looking for an awesome dog walker, look no further than Tyler! 🐾 He took on my high-energy girl, Macy, with absolutely no hesitation. His understanding of reactive dogs made all the difference. From bounding to the door to be greeted by a smile, to returning home happily tuckered out, it was clear Macy really enjoyed her time with him. I give Tyler my highest recommendation and will be crossing my fingers (and Macy’s paws) that he’s available next time we need someone. Thanks a million, Tyler—you’re the best! 🌟”

About: I have 8+ years of experience taking care of dogs and am happy to provide excellent and attentive care for your pet. I work flexible hours so I can adjust my schedule to accommodate long walks, drop in visits, house sitting, or any other requests you might have. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and an enjoyable time for your pet. I can't have a dog of my own right now, but love getting to hang out with pups through Rover, send me a message! I work full time, usually 7-5, but set my own schedule and have lots of flexibility. While house sitting, I can generally promise at least a walk in the morning, a short walk/potty break around midday, and a long walk in the late afternoon/evening (it depends on the day, so feel free to message me and I'll let you know what I can do!) I know it can be hard to leave your pet behind. For house sitting, I prefer to meet ahead of time so you can introduce me to your pet, give all the details and tour, and I can answer any questions/concerns you may have. I do my best to be responsive by text and call while you are away, and will keep you updated with photos. I am a very organized person and will leave your home just as I found it. I'm happy to take care of a few other things around the house, within reason (water the plants, bring in mail, etc.), just let me know.

“Perfect timing and a good long walk with threatening rain. Thanks so much!!!”

About: I love all animals and grew up taking care of all sorts of pets, however dogs hold the biggest piece of my heart. My wonderful pup, Bentley, recently went over the rainbow 🌈 after 13 amazing years together and there’s been a little piece of me missing ever since. Let me love on your dog when you can’t! We will definitely be helping each other out ❤️🥰 I work from home and can be around most of the time your pet is in my care. I love to play and go on walks. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate your pet, whatever the need. When they are with me, they are welcome on the couch and bed or I will follow any instructions to keep your fur baby on their normal regimen. Every animal has different needs and I will make sure they feel comfortable and are well cared for. I am familiar with aggressive breeds and know how to handle all kinds of situations. I’ve also had a senior pet that required medicines and special foods. Whatever kind of care your pet needs, I can assure you I will treat them like my own. I generally only sit 1-3 dogs at a time (dependent on size) since I live in an apartment, however I will take them out often to make sure they get enough exercise and I will smother them with love if they will let me! If you have more then 3 dogs or any questions on how many dogs will be here with yours, please reach out! I will try to accommodate wherever I can.

About: I have had over 20yrs experience pet/house sitting and have impeccable references. If you are looking for a responsible person to shower your 4~legged companions with oodles of TLC, look no further. I am available to care for your pet(s) at your home or mine. I live on a 50 acre property with lots of room to romp and exercise on or off leash. I also live across from a 2000+ acre recreation park/sanctuary with mikes of hiking trails for additional exercise and adventures. I am a semi-retired RN so your pet(s) would not be left alone for any length of time. I look forward to basking in their company and doting on them 24/7. Please contact me for any questions. Thank you for your consideration. ~Claudia I am a retired RN so your dog(s) would have me to keep them company all day along with our own 2 dogs (4 yr old Basset Hound and 8yr old English Springer Spaniel) who both neutered very dog friendly males. We have a lovely fully fenced 8+ acres property and comfy home for your dog(s) to have the run of along with our 2 dogs. We are both home all day and there is always someone here at all times. No dog is left home alone. We also have a caretaker who tends to the the 2 horses and mini donkey (whom live in separate pastures from the main property, as well as / goats that live in a back pasture. We have a fully fenced 8 acre property with a four ft fence. Dogs are free to have access to entire property as well as free range indoors. We have a very comfortable home with a large wrap around deck and 5 exits. So it’s in/out all day as much as any dog wants/needs. It’s truly doggie heaven here and most people want to stay themselves when they drop off their dogs. We don’t care for more than 2 at a time.

“Ashley is amazing! If we lived in Port Townsend, we would use her every week. Louie was instantly comfortable with Ashley, and it was clear when they got back that he was relaxed and happy. Thanks again, Ashley. We look forward to seeing you next time we visit the area!”

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.

“Sophie is amazing and so so sweet with my puppy. So grateful for her 🌺”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a young child. I’ve been trusted to feed and walk neighbors pets. I have trained my own puppy and bottle fed a friends puppy. I’m very organized, kind, responsible & compassionate. I have a deep love for animals and their care! I am unavailable 8:30-12:30 on week days. All the rest of the afternoon is free for me to play, check in, walk, and take care of pets! Weekends I am available to do whatever service is needed! I have a fenced yard, and 3 of my best friends living with me. I have a puppy aswell who is currently enjoying his training experience so not living in my home at the moment.

All animals are trained, socialized, and have good tempers!

About: —~> Ask about Farm Animal Care <~— Spending time with animals is a gift. It is a joy to meet new furry friends and give them extra love while their caretakers are out adventuring or working. I love to go for walks on the beach or in the woods. I like to chase sunsets and sunrises. All of which are more enjoyable with sweet creatures. I adore giving affection and opportunities to play for both cats and dogs. I have tended to a variety of different types of animals over the years. Some need ample one on one attention. Which I accommodate by giving them solo walks and separate meal times when requested. Others who loved to be social or had other animal roommates that needed plenty of outdoor time. Elder cats and dogs who needed extra special care, medication, fluids, and special diets. Dog and cat drop ins can make a world of difference for an animal navigating extended time away from their people/person. I give them all focused attention, consideration, bonding interactions and love. Dog walks are a vital key to their health and well being. It takes a village to tend to our critters too! Human and animal. I have many special spots for them to enjoy throughout the Olympic Peninsula. Including safe off leash areas when requested. I have a 7 year old dog, Hoodi. She does not come with me for cat or dog drop ins. Dog walks can include her company or not, always at your discretion. She does join me for overnight pet sitting and loves other dogs. She tends towards submissive and loves to chase and play. She is very mellow indoors and enjoys watching the activity of others. Throughout her life she has helped with pet sits. For her first four years of life she lived with two other dogs. She is a great addition to any pack. I have experience farm sitting which includes plant watering of green house, gardens, field and pasture. As well as goat milking, poultry care, and feeding of cows, horses, goats and pigs. Feel free to message me in booking about pricing for full time/part time farm care. Please note my pet sitting is limited to the Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap County. I pet sit most frequently in Port Townsend, Discovery Bay, Sequim, Blyn, Port Ludlow, Brinnon, Port Gamble, Quilcene, Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Irondale, and Marrowstone Island. Occasionally I will work in Port Angeles, Joyce, Forks, Queets, Poulsbo, Kingston, Bremerton, Bainbridge and Silverdale. I prefer extended house sits and like to build solid bonds with animals. I prioritize repeat clients. I have additional references outside of Rover. As many of my clients book me via word of mouth. This profile gives ease of access to my calendar. I currently work seasonally teaching art based school break kids camps and afterschool programing on the Olympic Peninsula. I spend the rest of my time making art from home and adventuring outdoors. This means I can have extended quality time with your pet(s) for walks and/or outdoor play and indoor care. Summer is my busiest season as a teacher. I have less availability during it. I believe maintaining routines and exercise is important for the physical and emotional well being of all animals. I will strive to uphold this and adapt my schedule as best as I can for your pet(s). I enjoy taking the time to communicate with you about your desires, concerns, texting check ins and sending sweet photos for your peace of mind. As every pet is an important family member. I know them to be kin.

“Teddy loves going on walks with Sierra and Buckaroo. Sierra is very reliable and great to work with.”

“Hilary is very easy to work with and has great and prompt communication. She was able to gain some trust of my sensitive and shy dog in only a couple meetings. She's good at reading the situation and taking the time needed to build a connection with her, even staying a little longer to make sure it was smooth for my pup and her needs were met. Would definitely have her walk my pupper again.”

About: I've had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, fish, etc. I absolutely love animals of all shapes and sizes. I volunteer at the SPCA in my spare time because I just can't get enough. I have a fairly flexible schedule and a reliable vehicle. I would love to set up a regular schedule so that I can plan in advance for the best care possible. I have an older Chihuahua who is very mellow and gets along with all animals and humans. I have a grassy open area for play as well as a fenced off area for off leash play.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m new to Port Townsend and excited to connect with local pet parents. I recently said goodbye to my sweet dog of 12 years, and while I’m not ready for another pup of my own yet, I miss the daily joy of caring for animals — which is why I’m here. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for dog walks, drop‑ins, and overnight pet sitting. I’ve cared for many dogs and cats for friends and family over the years, and I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities. If you’re looking for someone calm, reliable, and genuinely loving with animals, I’d be happy to help care for your furry family member. I currently work from home Monday through Thursday, which means I’m around throughout the day to give your pets consistent attention, companionship, and care. On Fridays through Sundays, I’m fully off — giving me even more flexibility for longer visits, overnights, or extra time with pets who need a little more company. Because I can take my computer anywhere there’s WiFi, I’m able to work from your home if needed. This allows me to keep your pets in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal routines. Whether they like midday play sessions, quiet company while they nap, or a structured schedule, I can be there. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to make everything feel seamless, safe, and respectful — for both you and your animals. I’m extremely mindful of people’s privacy and personal space. If a door is closed, it stays closed. I only access the areas you’ve clearly indicated are part of your pet’s routine. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m very detail‑oriented and follow instructions exactly as you provide them. Whether your pet has a specific feeding schedule, medication routine, favorite toy, or quirky bedtime ritual, I make sure everything is done just the way they’re used to. Consistency helps pets feel secure, and I take that seriously. You’ll never have to wonder how things are going while you’re away. I send daily updates — often more if you’d like — along with plenty of photos so you can see how happy and comfortable your pet is. My goal is to give you total peace of mind.

About: Aloha my name is Daniel I am looking for new opportunities in the Seattle and Port Townsend area to compliment my love of llamas. I am taking a break from alpaca llama rescue work at the moment, volunteering with farms and gardens in the area and looking to build my llama DJ event brand small herd. In the meantime I want to my leverage my experience with Great Pyreneese and dog care from my travels. I grew up with a childhood experience of raising kittens at 5 years old, and a family pet chihuahua .I graduated into the large animal and farm livestock in 2014 taking care of goats, alpacas, llamas, and chickens at a farm in Mt Shasta. I can administer medications to large animals like alpacas and llamas so i could most likely adapt to pets with medical care needs as well. I have been an avid traveler of the country and aboard 3 x to Peru to learn about the llamas I love. If you feel like I am a good fit we can negotiate a price and see if it flows. I enjoy traveling meeting new people and seeing new places. I have embarked on my past history of farm care and my love of animals to embrace a life journey of going on the road to continue making music and sharing my art as I bring the animal care side to the table. This reflects my values of spending time in nature and with animals to ground and gain therapeutic and different perspectives on live. A simple walk with a sniffing mind. The ears of a cat hearing something lurk like a spider in the corner . These unique moments create wonderful memories of life on earth to embrace daily. I have been entrusted by people with high valuable pets and their homes as a livestock farm manager . I have been handling top alpacas in the nation earlier in this year with the upmost care and respect for shearing aloha and friendship I treat all animal kin with compassion respect as if my brother and sisters.
