Dog Sitting in Suquamish

About: My name is Becky, I'm a masters student studying education (middle school science). I am looking to fill my day up with things that bring me joy. I love being outside and walking, so there is nothing better than walking dogs. Let me care for, play with, and walk your dog while you are busy (please!). I am totally comfortable with old dogs that have special needs, teething puppies, and dogs who don't love other dogs. I have experience with medications, wounds, and injuries for both dogs and cats. I live in Suquamish, with my husband, two kids, two cats and my sweet dog. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for my adult life. I'm just finishing up my school's course work and my kids are in school all day. I have free time on weekdays from late morning to mid-afternoon. Home drop-ins: I will be respectful of your home, and the requests of each individual client. I understand that rules may apply for different animals in a single home. Dog-walking: I tend to run a tight ship while walking dogs. I keep a short leash and have dogs heal for safety and behavior purposes. I will love your dog and provide safe and fun walk

“Devan did a wonderful job taking care of our pup for a drop in visit! He had a fun time playing and we felt great knowing he was well cared for. Devan sent cute pictures of him and gave us a great update on the visit after.”

“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!”

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

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.

“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.”

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.

“Really appreciate Kae’s photos, updates and communication!”

About: I am a genuine happy pet loving guy. With at least ten years caring for my own pets (2 cats, 3 dogs). I have my own transportation and have been first aid certified so I know what to look for at the first signs of any trouble with pets. My days and weekends are perfect time for walking and caring for dogs and cat sitting. I work part time at night as a caregiver, but I can plan house sitting around my other work. I like pets and can’t wait to meet yours. I have a big home and am open to one or two animals a week, but no double booking and no outside cats. However, in a client’s home they set the rules and I respect their space.

“Jacob has been wonderful. Frenchie and Mookie just love his company. The photos have been heartwarming to see as we’ve been away. The dogs are happy and I’ve been happy. Jacob’s communication has been too notch. Thank you, Jacob.”

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. :)

“Highly recommend Kalea!! She is kind and easy to work with, and provides comprehensive updates after each visit. She took excellent care of our 2 cats and 2 dogs, even cleaning up accidents when one of the had an upset stomach. We felt so safe with our pets in her care.”

“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!”

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.

“Maya did a wonderful job, I could tell that Muffin is still a little shy around strangers. Got a new pic every day so could see she was ok even though still hiding under furniture. She’s an older kitty but has only been with me a few months so was unsure how she would do. Maya put us both at ease.”

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.

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.

About: I have dog sat for a handful of people over the years. Some new clients and some faithful returning ones that become family friends. Some have needed medication and lots of walks, some just needed a friend, I love doing anything/everything. I do not currently own any pets and would love to be outside and more active. I would be available to do walks/drop ins around 3:30pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and most times Fridays-Sundays. Dog sitting availability depends on needs and pet schedule but please reach out about anything! I have worked with crates, dog doors, or dogs being inside all day and need walks/potty breaks. I hope we can work something out between us and your loved fur baby.

About: Hi, my name is Amber-rae, I am 22 years old and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve cared for everything from barnyard animals to beloved family pets since I was 9 years old. Dogs have always been by my side, and I welcomed my very own pup into my life at just 10 years old. With a lifetime of experience, I know how to keep tails wagging, paws moving, and pets happy, safe, and loved. We’ve got two beautiful boy cats at home who are our only pets at the moment. But i often care for my mothers dogs, she has 6 of them, four little Havaneese and two giant mastiffs At home our cats have free roam or the house and are only sometimes locked in their bedroom (the bathroom) because that’s where their food and litter box is. They’re given plenty snuggles and love, especially from my daughter, they love to play and cuddle on her bedroom floor. As for a clients animal, I will follow whichever routine is given for each animal (cat or dog) Whether it’s playing fetch, simply feeding them or going for a walk.

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