About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

“Tara came to our rescue when our regular sitter fell through at the last minute. We were overjoyed after the meet & greet to have someone local that clearly “gets dogs”. Plan to book with her in the future, and are so grateful for the daily updates and photos. Thanks Tara and Leo/Khali look forward to walks with you again soon!”

“Ruby was amazing with my young Golden! He was so excited to see her when she arrived. I recently had surgery and haven’t been able to walk him, so it was such a relief knowing he could get out and burn some energy beyond the backyard — especially on Thanksgiving day! Ruby was right on time and even sent me a photo. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had many pets (mainly dogs) since I was little , I am currently looking for fun pets to do fun walks with on my spare time for my physical activity as much as your furry friends! Most days I am open! Currently all I intend on doing is dog walking or pet sitting! Your paws will be active and happy at all times! I am usually out of the house most of the time and only stay home when it is irrelevant ! I like to stay active at all times:)

“I am so glad to have found Frankie for my yellow Labrador. She was flexible with scheduling, and made all efforts to accomodate any last minute requests. Jaggi was at ease with her all the time. She really took care of my dog like he was her own. I will not be looking for anyone else to sit my dog for a while. Thank you Frankie for being so awesome.”

About: My goal is to provide the best dog sitting service in Mason Country. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding, or talking to them, as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. I own my own pet sitting business and I'm going through here to get started in a new area for new clients. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving care and the details of dogs! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one dog owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my dogs as well as I do after a few short days.”… The most important goals for me are providing a consistently high quality of pet care service and developing lasting relationships with Mason County pet owners. Here are just a few of the ways that I can make a quality difference in your pets’ (and your) lives: Details I’m a detail-oriented business person who knows how important it is to follow through, in a meticulous way, the instructions you give me for the daily care of your dogs as well as your home. When I mull over situations with your pets and think about how important your home is to you, I always ask myself: “What would they do if they were here? How would they want me to proceed”? If there is any question in my mind, I contact you before taking action. I document all my actions for you, in my daily text or email, so that you don’t have to wonder or worry about the quality of care your pets and your home have received while you’re gone. As one client put it: “My goal in going with a professional pet sitter was…wanting the best for our two dogs while we were away. Carrie left it “camps without a trace,” returning the house to you as you left it. To list all the tasks she does to keep things ticking while we’re gone is more work than I want, so let’s just say, hire this intelligent woman who takes pride in her business and find out the true meaning of “getting away.” High Standard I maintain Open Communication at all times. Great communication is the key to all successful relationships. I always email clients a confirmation of their pet sitting arrival and departure dates/times, so there are no missed appointments or misunderstandings. I also write detailed daily email/text describing your pets’ activities and behaviors, including any changes I notice in their eating or sleeping or other routines – in addition to all their fun and funny ‘adventures’ when you’re gone! The level of communication I provide you, before you go and while you’re away, is an important part of my pet sitting service, demonstrating the observation skills and the focus I bring as caregiver for your pets and home! It's my main career to take care of your pets on a daily basis. So I have all the time in the world to spend time with them. I will be caring for your pet (s) in their own home where they are more comfortable than being in a boarding place. Have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from you soon

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over a decade, starting with my own beagle who taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and love. I also volunteered as a dog walker at the Kitsap Humane Society, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including those who were shy, energetic, or needed extra care. What sets me apart is my calm and confident approach, as well as my ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between—and I always treat every pet like they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my schedule around giving pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or extended stay, I make sure pets are never rushed and always cared for with patience and love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow any instructions closely, maintain clean, pet-friendly spaces, and always keep an eye on their behavior and surroundings. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure environments, and ensuring pets are never exposed to unnecessary stress or risk.
