“Josh accepted our last minute request so that we could leave town for a funeral and even arrived at 4:30 am for our early flight. He took great care of our dogs and even checked to make sure things were good with our reptile. In addition he left the house as he found it and cleaned up after himself.”


About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!

About: Hi, I’m Jenni! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have 15+ years of hands-on experience with pets, along with previous experience working in the veterinary field. My background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and the importance of dependable care. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, senior pets, shy pets, and multi-pet households. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your pets are being treated like family. I proudly serve Mason, Kitsap, and Thurston County areas. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies! I love animals and they always fit into my daily routine and schedule. Animal care is so important. Fur babies are our everything and more! I will come to you guys so they are in the comfort of their own home. It makes it so much easier on them as well as you so no boarding kennels are needed
“This was my first time hiring Becky for my two senior dogs. I was nervous because one of my dogs gets special food and medications. She is also pretty sensitive and emotional, so when we go away, she is sometimes very depressed. Becky was able to win both dogs over quickly and everything went great! Communication was stellar with messages and photos a couple times per day. That was much appreciated. 😍 Becky was respectful and easy to work with. She stayed at our house during the days we were gone and everything was very tidy and clean when we returned. I was really relieved and happy that our first time with this sitter worked out. We will use Becky again for sure!!😊”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since my brother got a puppy himself and one of my best friends got a husky pup! I would dog sit for them all the time so I quickly learned what a dog needs and how to care for them! Im currently a chiropractic student at Parker University so I have plenty of time to care for your dog most weekdays and weekends since my class schedule can be flexible! I am not able to provide care in my own home because my landlord does not allow pets. However, im more than willing to come to your house and follow the instructions you would like for me to follow!
“Emily took great care of my dog while I was away for 7 days! She was very communicative and followed all directions. She left the house super clean too which is always appreciated. I would book her again and recommend her to a friend!”

“Our pups adored Brougan. They were very well taken care of. One had a broken toe nail and that required watching him and putting on bandages so he wouldn't lick it. Brougan also watered all of plants for us and left the house clean. We will definetly be using Brougan again. Thank you.”

“Mckinzie took excellent care of our pooch, house and yard! She was very sensitive to our shy dog’s personality and they ended up good friends! We appreciated her quick response time too. We will definitely use Mckinzie again in the future!”

“Erica was wonderful with my pets! She sent me so many photos and videos and I loved that! She was very professional and follow my directions to a T! Besides that she was also super nice and friendly! I am so glad I've got to work with her! I am sure I'll book her again and again!”

“We had a good experience with Madisyn! The house was left spotless and communication throughout the stay was great — she sent updates, pictures and was easy to reach. Our one note is that she was out quite late one evening, which we weren't expecting. I'd recommend discussing schedules and expectations upfront, as she is a popular sitter with other jobs. I would still consider booking again, as we discussed that issue and she was very responsive. Thanks, Madisyn!”

“Brad did an amazing job watching my anxious dog Scooby and my cat Tuna for the weekend. He was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and had their needs met, like reinforcing training and ensuring plenty of playtime and pets. He even took my dog on an adventure to the woods, which my dog loves. Would definitely have him watch my pets anytime!”

About: Reliable, trustworthy dog sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve supported many families with walking, training reinforcement for puppies, overnight stays, and medication needs. As a lifelong pet owner (currently a Lab and a Golden), I treat every dog like my own. Pet care is a great fit for my schedule right now. I’m not currently working, which allows me to be flexible, reliable, and fully present for the pets I care for. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, structured, and loving environment. I follow their routines closely, ensure regular exercise and attention, and prioritize their comfort and safety at all times.
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

About: I've cared for people's dogs, cats, fish and homes for a couple of years in the Lacey, WA area. I work remotely so most days I can be with your pets all day and I have stayed in homes for up to two weeks. I love animals and will play with your furry family members, take them for walks, give them medicine and stick to the routines you have established. I love gardening and am happy to water plants while you are away. I work remotely so as long as you have wifi, I can stay with your pet(s) during the day! I can stay with your pets any day/night of the week. I will follow your routine, take your pets for a pup cup if allowed, or just hang out and play and snuggle in your home. I work remotely so I can easily take your dog(s) for walks or play fetch in the yard on breaks. I am comfortable giving injections and other meds if required. Of you need me to take out garbage bins or water plants, I am happy to do that as well. I will leave your home just as I found it, ready for your arrival.
About: Hello! We are Cole and Kayla, homeowners in the Lake Limerick area of Shelton. We are conveniently located on your commute between Hwy 101 and Hwy 3. What sets us apart from other sitters is our hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and a deep understanding of what it takes to care for dogs with high energy and specialized needs. We have raised and trained high-energy hunting dogs, which has given us the skills to handle active breeds that require both physical and mental stimulation. We are very familiar with the importance of consistency, exercise, and patience when it comes to training and caring for these types of dogs. In addition to dogs, We have also taken care of livestock, so we are no strangers to early mornings, structured routines, and being attentive to animal behavior and health. Currently, we are raising a 1-year-old Weimaraner, which has only deepened our appreciation for the energy, intelligence, and quirks that come with certain breeds. We understand how to provide the right balance of discipline and affection, and know how important it is to create a safe, stimulating environment where pets feel secure and loved. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra TLC, we are confident in our ability to provide personalized, attentive care that fits each pet’s unique personality and needs. We both work full time but often have a lot of weekends/holidays available as well as most evenings after 4:00 PM. We also could be available other days potentially depending on the time of year and work schedules. Whether we’re caring for pets in our own home or in a client’s, we approach every situation with the same level of respect, responsibility, and love. We treat each home as if it were our own—clean, safe, and respectful of the space—and every animal in our care as if they were a member of our family. In our home, pets have plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. We allow frequent potty breaks and are happy to take dogs on walks as needed to help them get their energy out and enjoy some fresh air. If a pet is crate-trained or requires crating at certain times, we’re more than capable of accommodating that in a way that keeps them calm and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we maintain their routines as closely as possible, from feeding and medication schedules to walks, playtime, and quiet time. We make sure they feel safe and loved while their family is away, and we treat the client’s home with the same care and consideration we’d expect in return. No matter the setting, our goal is always to provide a stress-free, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel truly cared for.

THANK YOU, GLORIA!!! I wish I could make that statement in BOLD type! Both our dogs loved Gloria — and one of them is an elder curmudgeon. We were gone a week and Gloria was prompt and texted us almost immediately when we contacted her. She also sent pictures — and that was a treat. So relieved to find someone responsible and caring. We will definitely be contacting Gloria again!

Faye did an incredible job caring for my beautiful girls and keeping me up to date with pictures and texts on what was happening and how they were doing. She even stopped in after she was supposed to be done just to ease my pregnant mind to know that my girls were doing okay late at night. I would highly recommend her as your dog sitter. I will be hiring her again if needed in the future.
