Pet Sitting Tahuya

“Ariana is wonderful! She made friends readily with my fussy older cat plus kept me informed with comments and daily pictures. I was so impressed with her care of my kitty and how she kept his dishes clean and filled. I could see she washed utensils and bowls I left out plus took litter and uneaten wet food to the garbage can outside. She also went above and beyond when she discovered a leak in my roof, She cleaned it up and put a large container under it, saving my floor and my cat's living space. She called me when she got everything done and kept me informed about the leak and the cat daily. She deserves the highest praise for all she does and the care she took with my pet.”

“James took excellent care of my 2 cats. He took extra effort to play and to fill birdfeeders to keep them happy. He even fed a neighborhood stray. I would certainly book James again.”

About: Being a dog owner is a constant source of joy and responsibility. The day begins with the enthusiastic welcome of a wagging tail, setting a positive tone. Daily walks are not just exercise but moments of exploration, where every leaf and lamppost become sources of fascination. Mealtime is a celebration, with the rhythmic sound of a tail thumping against the floor. Regular grooming sessions, from brushing to occasional baths, are a shared experience that reinforces our bond. The unconditional love and loyalty reflected in those soulful eyes make the effort of dog care a rewarding and heartwarming commitment.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a Midwest girl originally from Chicago who now calls the beautiful Pacific Northwest home! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine life without them! As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. I also have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, so I know the importance of patience, attentiveness, and a little extra TLC as our furry friends get older. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for some cuddles, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and of course, I’m a huge cat lover, too! I’m friendly, dependable, flexible, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, attentive hands. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶🐱💕 My schedule is pretty flexible and happy to work with many schedules. Just shoot me a message and we can figure something out. Let’s chat! I am currently not caring for pets in my home as I have a small apartment with 4 pets already. I am happy to care for pets in their own home, and follow their normal schedule. I am very accommodating and súper flexible. Let’s chat!

About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.

About: I'm a huge fan of active dogs, and I love going on walks and playing outside with them. I also have experience with senior pets and in giving medications. I'm a self-employed clinical massage therapist, and am able to adjust my schedule to fulfill whatever needs you or your pets may have, including doing various walks or appointments as needed. I can drive up to any location and keep your pet in a safe and familiar space while I'm taking care of them, as well as make sure your home is maintained well.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child living on a farm- dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, fish, and even plants! I have a deep sense of care for animals and living things, and will nurture and attend to your loved ones’ needs while you are away. I have a one year old chocolate Lab named George who gets along great with other dogs and is polite and respectful with cats. He comes with me on overnight stays and walks, but can stay in my truck for drop-in visits if you prefer. I can take your dog on long walks or visit dog parks during the day and give them plenty of playtime and attention. Available for drop in feeding visits, walks, or overnight stays. I am available to drop by or stay overnight in client’s homes. I have a pickup with a canopy to transport your dogs to the dog park, and have access to a private beach. Comfortable with large breeds, leash training and working with behavioral issues. Let me know what your pets need and I will be happy to accommodate.

“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”

About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.

“Amanuel was great! He came on time everyday, and made sure my cat had lots of clean food, water, and a clean box. He offered to play with her too, but she’s just a little shy. The offer was so kind though. I’m so happy I went went him and recommend him to anyone!”

About: I may be newer to professional pet sitting, but I bring a full year of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m patient with puppies as they learn, gentle with seniors who need a slower pace, and comfortable giving oral medications when needed. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood — and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my week — I set aside time every day for walks, play, and check-ins with the pets I look after. I plan my schedule around their needs so I can give them steady attention, whether it’s a morning potty break, an afternoon walk, or evening cuddles. Keeping them safe, happy, and loved is something I enjoy building into my routine I make every effort to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. In my home: I create a calm space where pets can relax, play, and stick to their usual routine. I provide regular walks or yard time, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of cuddles or playtime based on their personality. I keep an eye on them at all times and make sure they have a cozy spot to rest.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities! Always reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I am available for walks and sitting on weekdays and some weekends. I'll ensure that your pets feel safe in whatever environment I am interacting with them in! Happy to play fetch or run with your dog or just sit in the same room as your cat!
