Dog Sitting Suquamish

“So nice and responsive! She kindly offered many services that were beyond the scope of what we booked (we just needed someone to watch our cats but she asked about various house sitting tasks). Our cats seemed healthy and happy when we returned home which is all we wanted :). Would definitely book again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even koi fish. I specialize in earning the trust of shy and sensitive animals, including feral and rescued cats, senior pets, and anxious dogs. I’ve bottle-fed kittens, provided comfort care to elderly animals, and supported a large outdoor cat colony with love and patience. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive presence and deep understanding of animal behavior. I customize care to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s playtime, peaceful companionship, medication support, or senior care. I’m retired from a career in IT, so I’m reliable, communicative, and available with a flexible schedule. I’ll treat your pets like family and your home with the utmost respect. I’m retired and have the flexibility to dedicate my time fully to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around feeding, observing, and nurturing animals. Most of the animals I care for are rescues with unique needs, so I’m experienced with medications, vet visits, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.

“Monica is fantastic and did such a great job keeping our dog happy while we were out of town. Glad we found her.”

About: Do you have a sweet fur baby who wants room to run and sniff and play with other dog friends? I offer kennel free, constant care, in home dog boarding. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to offer in-home boarding and doggy daycare. I've spent years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—whether it’s through helping friends and family or volunteering with local shelters. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or special care. Creating a safe, fun, and loving environment is my top priority. Your dog will be treated like part of the family—whether we’re playing in the yard, going for walks, or just relaxing together. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, and I’m here to provide that for you and your pup. Let's do a meet and greet at a local park here in Kingston. Dogs are a part of my everyday life and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give each dog my full attention and provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, supervised play in the yard, or quiet companionship indoors, I’m always present and engaged. My days revolve around the dogs in my care—from mealtimes and outdoor fun to afternoon naps and evening routines. On a weekly basis, I maintain a calm, structured environment where dogs feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, your pup will always have someone nearby to meet their needs and keep them happy. Puppy Care Experience: Over the past 30 years , I’ve raised many puppies and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to thrive. I use a potty schedule and positive reinforcement to encourage good habits and build trust. For puppies still learning boundaries, I’ve successfully used long lines indoors for gentle guidance. I also have a variety of dog crates available for all dogs who are crate trained, ensuring a safe and familiar environment that supports their routine. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I live on a quiet property with over an acre of fully fenced, grassy pasture—perfect for running, exploring, and playtime. Whether your dog loves to fetch, sniff around, or just relax in the sun, they’ll have a supervised, safe space to enjoy. Inside, your pup will be treated like family, with cozy spots to rest and plenty of love and attention. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is in a caring, secure, and fun environment.

“Luna went above and beyond and was a very caring sitter for my cat. I appreciated all the communication and photos, it gave me peace of mind during a long trip!”

“Kyrna was great with my pup! She followed instructions well and was flexible with my adjustments, and I could tell my girl was happy from their time together. I hope to use her services again in the future!”

About: I’m a farm raised girl with years of animal care practice, dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, and donkeys. I’ve always had pets in my life and claimed the role of family dog trainer. Pets are my happy place, and I love spending time loving on dogs and cats so their owner feels more comfortable leaving home. My dog Pongo is very special to me and I know the pain of leaving him behind when it’s necessary, and also know the joy of finding someone with a big heart to care for him when I’m gone. I’m that girl with the big heart that will love and care for your furry loved ones so you can be comfortable leaving home knowing they’re well cared for. I spent a year volunteering at West Sound Wildlife which gave me experience tending to wounded animals. I’m well versed in giving animals medications and following strict diets. My schedule is very flexible at the moment which means I’m able to make your animal a top priority. I work at a local restaurant but my shifts aren’t long, at most I’ll be out of the house for five to six hours. I love getting to know each pet, what their needs are, and how to best meet those needs while I care for them. If tons of love and snuggles are required I’m happy to oblige, but I also understand the different boundaries of each individual animal and how to navigate them to earn trust. My dog Pongo gets 4-5 walks per day, some are sniff walks for mental exercise, and others are to throw a stick in the woods for him to let some energy out.

“Maya was amazing - we weren't home when Maya came to pick up our dog for a walk and also do a drop-in to just hang out so I left notes with instructions and she was great at following the details. Unfortunately it poured on the day of the walk but Maya managed to keep our dog happy with a long walk and some cuddles. I am extremely happy with how he was taken care of and I will definitely be booking with Maya again.”

About: I’ve been in a dog household since I was in middle school, and I’ve been the caretaker of as many as 5 dogs at a time. I am home from the summer from university and currently have an open schedule with many opportunities for dog care. I have availability 7 days a week with weekdays preferred. I love keeping pets company and spending time with them to make sure they can get their energy out. I am capable of taking multiple dogs at a time, but also can take out one at a time if necessary. I have good etiquette regarding doors and know how to watch so sneaky dogs don’t escape.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

“Brianna did a wonderful job taking care of my two fur babies. I also truly appreciated her helping me keep my plants alive as well. Everything went exceedingly well.”

About: You know when they say some people are "pet whisperers?" Yeah, that's kind of me. lol I have been born and raised around animals and have had 2 dogs, 4 cats, 2 rats, 1 hamster, hermit crabs, fish, and a bearded dragon as an adult. I'm currently a full-time nursing student in an online-accelerated nursing program so I'm basically studying all day - which makes me the perfect pet/house-sitter...I'm always around! There is usually one day a week that I'm gone for 5 or 6 hours so your pets would need to be ok with being alone for a bit, but other than that, I'm around to give them all the loves and snuggles and belly rubs they desire! As mentioned above, I'm a full-time nursing student so I pretty much just sit at my laptop and do homework/study all day. I usually have 1 or 2 days per week that I have to be in-person for labs and clinical and those days typically are about 4-5 hours per day. Otherwise, I'm here for your pet(s)! As a pet owner myself, I know the importance of keeping a pet safe and loved! I would never take a pet to an unleashed/unfenced area - I would always keep them leashed or make sure it was a fully secure area that your pet already knows (your local fenced dog park for example). I recognize that some pets take a little time to warm up so I would give them the space and time to warm up, and accept me, on their terms - never forcing them to be by buddy. :)

“We hired Elissa to do a last minute drop in visit for our dog Kai and overall she did a great job. She came to the meet and greet on time and it was obvious that she loves dogs and knows a lot about them. She was very responsive via the Rover app, communicative, transparent, and did what we asked during the visit. Thanks, Elissa!”

“Very reliable, competent, and compassionate! Would definitely rebook if available!”

About: Although I don't have professional training with pups, I have had a dog most of my life & would love to put as big of a grin on your pup's face as they will put on mine! I am currently at stay-at-home mama for my 5 month old and we are always looking for new doggo friends to join our pack for a short stay or a longer vacation. My daily obligations include taking care of my human baby as well as my dog, Mango while trying to keep up the house and yard. Plenty of time for giving your pup belly rubs & the attention they need! I live with my dog loving husband and 2 year old rottweiler mix pup that loves to make new friends (big and small). We have 2 acres of property perfect for exploring, playing fetch and getting out those zoomies. We also love to venture to North Kitsap Heritage Park for some extra exercise and new sniffs.

“Hannah was great, she took good care of our kitty while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent photos every day. Would definitely have her again.”

Jessica D.

“Julia is great. Our pup loved her and having her reliable visits took worry about our girl off the table. Highly recommended!”

About: About me: I’m a 19-year-old high school and community college graduate I started school at UW Tacoma in fall of 2020 (online) Breeds I’ve had in my family include American Eskimo, Chihuahua/Pekingese mix, Toy Poodle, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and Pomeranian I don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs About my dog sitting experience: I started taking care of dogs since August of 2019, with mostly house sitting experience I work with dogs (and puppies) of all ages and sizes I’m willing to give car rides for dogs if taking them to the dog park or nearby beach is acceptable or deemed necessary by the client I am only doing dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting services. As of right now, my schedule is very flexible, and I will let clients know if there are any changes that may need be. I will start school again in late September, which will take priority, therefore reducing my availability to house-sit, drop in, and go for walks. DEAR NEW AND EXISTING CLIENTS, I will be raising my rates for house sitting by the end of the month due to an increase in house sitting requests. As of right now, I have am free full-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pups! I do start school towards the end of september and will be traveling to and from campus, so I will have significantly less time once the school year starts. I always make sure doors and gates are closed and locked unless being used. I also make sure keep an eye on your pups, especially when outside.

“Reliable, thoughtful and kind to my dog! Very much appreciated!”
