“Awesome pet sitter. Reliable, the best”

“We had a meet-and-greet with Kathryn so that we could establish relationships between the humans and between Kathryn and the cats. Although it wasn't an official pet sitting appointment, we could tell immediately how comfortable Kathryn is with kitties (as well as a personable human). We look forward to booking Kathryn for our future cat sitting needs.”

About: With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My own dog lived past 15 years old, and supporting him through the health challenges that come with age taught me how to administer a wide range of medications and provide the patient, attentive care senior dogs need to stay comfortable and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, quiet companionship, or a little extra support due to age or medical needs, I’m committed to making them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to keep their routine steady, their tail wagging, and your mind at ease knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Now that I’m not working outside the home, I’m able to devote my days to something I genuinely love — caring for pets. My schedule is calm, flexible, and fully centered around being available when pet parents need me most. Whether it’s early‑morning visits, midday check‑ins, or keeping a steady routine for your pet while you’re away, I have the time and attention to make it happen. I’m an early riser, so morning feedings, walks, or drop‑ins fit naturally into my day. I enjoy starting the morning with purpose, and there’s nothing better than beginning the day with a happy tail wag or a content purr. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can offer consistent care, low‑stress routines, and quick communication — all things that help pets feel secure and help you feel confident while you’re away. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy schedule. It’s a meaningful part of my everyday life, and I’m committed to giving your pets the same calm, reliable, loving care I give my own. I’ve learned that the little details make the biggest difference. When I’m in your home, I follow a careful routine to make sure your pets stay secure, comfortable, and stress‑free. * I keep doors and gates fully secured at all times and double‑check them before leaving. * I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions. * I monitor your pet’s behavior and environment closely, making sure they’re safe, calm, and not getting into anything they shouldn’t. * I keep all medications, treats, and supplies organized and give medications exactly as directed. * I maintain a clean, hazard‑free space by ensuring food, plants, and household items are out of reach. * I stay in communication with you, sending updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. * I respect your home by locking up properly, turning off lights, and keeping everything just as I found it.

About: I’ve been around all animals almost all my life and have always had the biggest love for them. I have also worked at veterinary offices and love almost every part of it :) I am currently doing online courses for school at skagit valley college and have an open schedule to help out with any type of animal care :) I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs would love and hardwood floors inside my house for when they are inside. I am fully capable of taking care of the animals however wanted :)

“Veronika was a perfect choice to look after my feisty cat! She worked hard to earn her trust and even got her to play after the first visit! I would highly recommend her for attention to detail and genuinely caring for the well-being of furry family members. Thank you Veronika!!”

About: I believe dogs have the best souls on earth. Enjoy hiking, playing in the yard, or simply being in their space. I also enjoy training from puppy to advanced agility. I’ve trained a couple different types of dogs and a bird ranging in ages. Also able to transport locally to homes, vet, and or parks. My late sweet Pepper dog and I were Project Caine certified as a Therpy team, volunteers at island hospital, and Master Agility Champions. We look forward to meeting with other awesome dogs and their owners. I work in the travel industry, so my schedule varies. I usually know a couple weeks in advance. My spouse’s schedule varies too. Sometimes we are available 24/7 We treat Pets as Family in our home.🥰. We live on acreage close to Deception Pass. We have experience with administering 💊 medication to young and older fur babies 🐾

“Friendly carrying and very knowledgeable made my dogs feel right at home and definitely will use them again great outdoor space and set up inside is super nice for the dogs”

About: I grew up in a large industrious family (the Duntons) full of farm animals, cats, and dogs next to Lake Erie. I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life, and am part of a well-known and trusted large family in the Anacortes area with many well-known, trusted small family businesses (Dunton’s Body Shop, 6th Street Hair Co, Gae’s Drapery, Fidalgo Flower & Co, and more) and can be trusted with your home and pets. Thanks for looking! Fully open schedule. I can adapt to any feeding, behavioral, or exercise schedule your pet or pets may have. This is supplementary income for a fixed income retired situation. Highly skilled pet care from a trusted local family member woven into the Anacortes community. Absolute careful and loving pet care coming from decades of experience. Your pets are in excellent hands!

About: Growing up with an array of animals and having been a former Emergency Veterinary Assistant I am able to provide attentive, in-home care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and routine. From maintaining structure and exercise to offering calm, reassuring companionship, my goal is to keep your pet’s environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I prioritize safety, communication, and thoughtful care so you can feel confident while you’re away. I am comfortable administering many different types of medications to both canines and felines and take pride in being able to take immediate action in emergency situations to prevent any further harm or complications. I’ve cared for not only cats and dogs but duck, chickens, rabbits, horses and axolotols! 🐱🐶🐴🪿🐰🐓🩷 This is personalized pet care—not just a quick check-in I organize my daily schedule to prioritize pet care, allowing for dependable visit times and flexibility when needed. I space out appointments intentionally so each pet receives focused, unrushed attention, while still maintaining consistency in their routine. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In your home, I maintain their normal schedule to keep things stress-free. In my home, I offer a safe, structured environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I prioritize safety, consistency, and regular updates so you always feel informed.

“Thank you for everything Jasmin. You are so reliable and a great sitter. Thank you for taking great care of my fur babies. I will definitely rebook for my next service. Appreciate you a lot!”

About: I have 2 years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior dogs with disabilities, I've seen it all. Growing up surrounded by a variety of dogs, from tiny Yorkies to gentle Great Danes, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs. Whether it's providing extra care for seniors or giving energetic pups their much-needed exercise, I’m passionate about keeping your furry friends happy and healthy! I’m available to care for your pets throughout the week! Whether you need a dog walk, check-in, or caring for your pet while away, I’m here to help! Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll make sure they’re well cared for during the times that work best for you. Please note: Starting June 1, 2025, my HOUSE SITTING rates will be updated. On Rover, the listed rate will show as $60 per night, which applies when you're away on vacation or need care over multiple days with daytime coverage. However, if you're booking longer daytime care without an overnight stay (for example, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM), the rate will be adjusted to $20 per hour for the time I’m actively caring for your pets. While the initial booking may still show as $60, I will manually adjust the rate on my end and send it to you for approval before confirming. This helps ensure you're only paying for the time you need, and your pets still receive high-quality, attentive care. Additionally, please note that for extended visits, I can provide early morning and late night drop ins, but will stay in my own home as I have my own fur babies to care for ☺️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in the familiar environment of your home, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed. I build trust through consistent, loving attention, treating each pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s following specific routines or providing a calm atmosphere, I make sure your furry friend feels safe and well cared for while you’re away.

“Rachel is the best! She took wonderful care of our cat, Sherman. She sent great updates and photos, making us feel that he was definitely in good hands. We are so thankful to find such a trustworthy person that we can count on. We're looking forward to using her services in the future.”

“Jessica has been great. This is the second time we have used her to come and let our 3 girls out (dogs) and both times has been on short notice. She will continue to be our top choice when searching for help. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for help. Thanks Jessica!!!”
