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.

“Whitney is wonderful! She takes such good care of our kitty when we travel - it’s such a relief to know she’s in kind, trustworthy hands! Highly recommend.”

About: I've taken care of our dogs growing up and both dogs and cats for friends, family, and strangers. Everyone has been happy with my care. I have a full time job currently but I will still be available to help watch your pets with good notice. I will be updating my calendar as I receive my schedule. My job sends out a schedule for 2 weeks at a time. With plenty of notice and details for care I'll make sure they stay happy while you are gone. I can only take care of pets in the owner's home as I live in a place that doesn't allow pets. I usually ask for owners to leave a list of details for care for their pets. If pets are nervous I prefer to stop by and meet them when their owners are home a day or so in advance so I'm not a complete stranger. But if that isn't an option I'm ok working with your pets so they are comfortable when I get there.

About: I have owned animals my entire life, from dogs to cats, lizards, bunnies, you name it! I love animals and I love knowing they are getting the best love and care they deserve. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur-babies in the care of someone else, but I will love and care for them like they are my own! My parents have done pet sitting for years and traveled all over the world doing it, I want to do the same! I work Monday through friday, and can work remote if needed. I am usually off by 3 pm, but can change depending on the needs of the sit. Weekends and Holidays I am completely open, and I have summers off from June to August. I will do whatever I can to offer you and your pets the love and support you want for them. I am flexible with my time and always dedicated to giving the best care.

“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.”

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.

About: I've always had a deep connection to and love for animals that goes back to childhood. I'm dedicated to giving your pet(s) the best care possible. I'm available to dog and/or cat sit for both Christmas and New Years. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, because I'm in the process of transitioning careers. I care for pets in client's homes by ensuring they have water, food, attention and are taken on daily walks. I also ensure they get any medication needed. I have experience dog sitting for senior canines.

“Sophie and Shannon did a great job in taking care of my animals for 5 days. A great team! Very reliable and things were done so nikki and boo didnt miss a meal or a walk. I really appreciate the kind care.”

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and routinely cared for many family friends’ dogs over the years. We lost our dog nearly a year ago and I’m wanting to spend time helping others take care of their animal! I work full time and am open to do drop in visits over lunch hours, after work, or anytime on weekends. I am here to help! I would be happy to drop in and play with your dog or give your dog a walk/jog during the week or on weekends.

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.

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 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.

“Arianne took wonderful care of my two cats while I was out of town for a week. They took to her immediately during the meet and greet and were very relaxed upon my return. I highly recommend her and hope to be able to book her again for any future trips!”

“Tilly came to Sequim to take my very energetic Boston Terrier for an hour long walk. She was on time and pleasant and actually walked her to the nearby dog park and played fetch with her! So glad to have someone wear out CiCi while I am recovering from an illness. Thank you Tilly 🙏”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and love. I take pride in being a dependable, compassionate sitter who creates a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a 4-yr old dog now named, Buckaroo, who is amazing with a majority of dogs. I work remotely for Aya Healthcare, a nurse and Locums management company. I am free to get away to walk your pet, or even stay at your place overnight and work from there. Plenty of schedule flexibility. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I ensure a safe, clean environment, give plenty of affection and exercise, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering basic medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
