Pet Sitting in Port Townsend

“Nicole took great care of our over anxious Aussie’s. Nicole is the first non family member who has provided care for them. Nicole kept me well informed of her visit and the dog’s reaction with her. We will definitely request more visits with Nicole.”

About: I have worked with so many different breeds over the years, including English Setters, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Leonbergers, Siberian Huskies, Newfoundlands, Flat-Coated Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, Vizslas, Keeshonds, Berger Picards, Standard Poodles, Miniature Poodles, and Toy Poodles, 1 have also shown Spinoni Italianos, Whippets, Rough Collies, Smooth Collies, Borzois, and Basset Hounds and more! For training I should be able to fit 3-4 trainings in a day. For walking it will depend on how long the walk is and how far I would need to travel to get to the dog I'm walking. I'm freer during the week however I can do some weekends! If I am taking care of pets in someone else home, I like to have a list of requirements from the owner. I want to make sure the pets are correctly taken care of perfectly to what the owners wants. I am an amazing direction follower and will perform tasks that are asked of me efficiently. If I am caring for someone's dog in my own home, the dogs will be feed twice a day or more if asked by the owner, dogs will always have access to fresh water and shade. Toys will be provided however if the owners wants to bring their own toys that is always allowed. Dogs will be allowed to socialize with my dogs if the owner is okay with that of course! If the dog is not allowed around others they will be provided with a private space that keeps that calm and happy!

“Ashely is wonderful, definitely an above an beyond dog care sitter. I was thrilled with the care that my girl received and would recommend her to anyone looking for the best quality care in the area.”

“Melissa was very attentive to our pups' needs and was able to spot issues that required attention before I had to ask. I 100% recommend this sitter. The pups loved her!”

Melodie H.

“Eleanor took wonderful care of my cat. In addition to making sure he was fed according to instructions, she gave him lots of attention and play time. And I received very detailed reports about how each visit went. I wouldn't hesitate to use Eleanor's services again.”

“Mary came to visit our dogs for about 3 weeks when our work schedules got really busy. She was very communicative, prompt, and even brought special toys with her for our dogs. One of our dogs is anxious and picky with people but she loved Mary! Definitely recommend :)”

Ellie H.

“Christine was perfect! She came twice a day to visit our 1 year old and 10-week old puppies, giving them (supervision) loving, walks and playtime. It was just great all around. Christine is also communicative, timely and sent lots of pictures, which I loved to see. Highly recommend.”

About: Having grown up with an anxious dog, I am proud of my ability to understand different dogs’ needs and meet them where they’re at. I love to spend time with playful dogs and am known to make shy dogs feel quite comfortable with me. Nearly my entire life has been spent living with dogs, and I firmly believe that we are so lucky to share a planet with them. I work part-time and can be very flexible with timing and scheduling. I love getting the chance to have some dog time in my day! I will communicate with you to make a plan that meets your needs as well as the needs of your pet. While I feel confident in my ability to improvise when a dog seems unsettled, I like to have as much background information as possible to best care for them.

“Xavier was wonderful! Very communicative and I could tell that my pet was well cared for. I will definitely be hiring him again.”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I currently live in Port Townsend WA. Which is a lovely place to have a dog. There are many trails and parks and beaches! I have come and gone traveling because of ballet my whole life but it has never stopped me from needing a dog or cat nearby. I have volunteered at the Oregon Humane society and many other clinics in Washington. At one time my family had 6 cats and two dogs! The reason why I am so interested in helping with your furry friends is because I truly love animals. I love them more than people sometimes :) (All the time) I have full availability almost always because I am a full time painter and artist. Not only would I take care of your pets but would also take care of your garden and home. Green thumb indeed right here! I have just so much experience with animals and I would love to meet you and your dog, cat, rabbit, lizard, snake, or any pet friend! I am a full time artist and self employed bike messanger for Uber eats. I am able to make my own schedule and be with your pets all day and night if need be! I have a small dog crate and a large crate if needed. I am also known to cook gourmet meals for your dog or cat! And of course lots of water and always monitoring if it's clean and of course lots of potty breaks. If your pet is staying with me I also have a roommate that is here every evening. So extra love and attention. Oh, and just being present and cuddly in general of course!

About: My name is Tyler and I'm a lifelong dog lover. Having spent the last few decades of my life with Saint Bernards, I have a special affinity for Giant Breeds, but love all creatures great and small. I spent 3 years in the Pet Industry (With Ruffwear, a manufacturer of high quality outdoor gear for dogs) and have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs, including the infirm and partially paralyzed. I'm a health conscious, active and compassionate individual and would be honored by the opportunity to help care for your friends in your absence. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to assisting you. Cheers! I co-own and operate two small businesses here in Port Townsend: Fishboat Media and Cold Pizza Creative. Both permit me to dictate my own schedule and work fully remote, allowing me ample free time to help care for your furry friend. Like their human counterparts, each dog is unique, and I approach caring for them with this in mind. A combination of intuition, experience, and good communication with our clients and their owners ensures an active, engaged, compassionate experience.

“Ari has done drop-in and overnight stays with our very shy large dog. She’s been very reliable and kind, and our home is always immaculate when we return. Hope to book with her many times again in the future!”

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: —~> 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 5 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. I will do pet sitting in Port Townsend, Discovery Bay, Sequim, Blyn, Port Ludlow, Brinnon, Port Gamble, Quilcene, Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Irondale, Marrowstone Island, and occasionally Port Angeles, Joyce, Forks, and Queets. 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 arts 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. 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.

About: I've had dogs and cats in my life since I was young, and pet-sitting and dog-walking was one of the earliest ways I earned money as a kid. Animals make sense to me; I know how to communicate with them, and how to listen to what they need, no matter how nervous or neurotic they are. I'm currently working from home as a podcaster, so my schedule is very flexible., especially during the day. I can do my work from anywhere, so if I house-sit I can spend all day long with your furry friends. I'm familiar with the challenges of walking dogs on busy paths or along heavily trafficked streets, so I know how to keep them safe. In the home, I'm always careful to follow any instructions to the letter.
