Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dexter by the Sea

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dexter by the Sea

“We came from out of town and had all day activity in Westport which didn’t allow a dog. We didn’t want to leave our dog behind and found Thomas locally. When we picked up Maro after the activity, we left something behind. Thomas took time to bring them over to where we were staying... When Maro saw Thomas again, he was so happy which reconfirmed my dog had a good time with him!”

“Really good experience for first trial sleepover. Glad to have a sitter who lets both Winston and I take baby steps to make sure he is well cared for. Looking forward to Zena and Winston becoming great pup pals!”

“She pays attention to the dogs she is in charge of, their personalities and likes and dislikes. I have a finicky dog and she would put food away until she was ready to eat again. Great job!”


“I'm new to the area and needed a dog sitter on short notice. I was pretty nervous until I met Yoon. She is FANTASTIC with my American Bully. Pretty sure he wants to live with her now. I appreciate Yoon's flexibility and care. She absolutely loves dogs and spoiled my guy rotten. I am so grateful and cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Yoon!”

“We are completely satisfied at the care our dog received from Tiffany. We received lots of photos and updates through the week he was there. He got his own little get away while we took our trip. We 100% would use her again and highly recommend.”

“Connie did a super job of looking after our Stinky! She often sent photos and a video, keeping us posted on how he was doing. He made a special friend and looks like he had a great time! I’d highly recommend Connie to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Our Lab Tango had a great time staying with Bethany for a week while we were on vacation! This was our first time using Rover and are both very happy with the experience. She was very accommodating with our schedule since we missed our flight connection coming home. She sent us photos every day as an update and Tango came home very tired from all the exercise he got. We will definitely use her services again and are happy to have a place we can trust while we leave for vacations. ”

“Kari is a lifesaver! Had to out of town last minute for a funeral and she kindly took my baby in with no issue. She was super accommodating and kind to Marty. Her dogs were very sweet and they played well together. Got daily updates and pictures. Just nice to know that he was so well taken care of. Definitely recommend and will use her services again!”

About: I grew up with pets and have been a pet owner most of my life. We recently had to say goodbye to our Boston terrier due to cancer, and I’m missing having a furry friend to hang out with at home. I work from home 6 AM to 2:30 PM Monday through Thursday and have two 15 minute breaks and a half an hour break during that time. I also have flexibility throughout the day. We have a nice comfortable home and a very walkable neighborhood. I enjoy walking down to the South Bend waterfront, which is only a couple blocks from our house.
About: I have caretaking experience, I have had many pets in my lifetime from puppies, dogs with heart murmurs, to timid rescues that need lots of growth and support. I have a belief that all dogs can be cares for with ease, because I understand them through their personalities and specific needs. Every dog is unique in a beautiful way, just like humans, I do my best to pick up on their queues and give them the attention they deserve and give them good energy. I am open to caring for pets every day of the week, Monday to Sunday from daytime to overnight needs. I am a writer and creative and this would be my main job other than those duties which I would balance efficiently. At my home, I have two separate units. I have a main house and a studio next door, along with two fenced in backyards. I am near the Hoquiam town hall nearby the town which is perfect for long walks.
About: Pets are families. I am still learning of how to train the dogs professionally. I do my best to take care of them. To those potty-trained and friendly personality dogs, I am totally ok with them. I am a house wife. I am available at the most of time. I am adjustable and easy going. Please talk wit me to make a schedule. I walk the dog out when there is no rain. I brush her everyday. I wash the dog every other week. My son and I play with her everyday too. She is fully vaccine and dewormed.

“Kyndra was amazing with my dogs Archie and Rev! She was super responsive and accommodating to everything with my schedule this weekend and I am so grateful she was able to help out with my pups. She always responded to me so quickly to let me know how they were doing and I had to pick them up later than I anticipated and it was no problem at all for her. Thank you so much Kyndra for taking care of my pups like they are your own! I will definitely rebook the next time I am in town 🙂”

“Connie was great with Winter and were super appreciative of the last minute booking after we drove out from Tacoma just to realize we forgot our pup’s crate. Definitely saved the night for us that we had been planning for over a month”

“My two pups are very well cared for in Kari's home! They obviously feel very secure there. When we pick them up, they are happy to see us, of course, but seem very at ease and relaxed.”

“She is very friendly, easy going and flexible. She is a kind person. When a dog jumped up on my dress she ran to the rescue with natural solvents. My dress is still beautiful thanks to her quick thinking! My dog just adores her. I feel now like she is my baby’s second home. There is a large property so lots of walking potential. Also a fenced in play area when it’s needed. The dogs are able to spend time in doors or out doors. Plenty of parking space if your drop off or pickup times coincide with other owners. Have you ever seen a happy smile on a dog? These are happy dogs!! 🤣”

“Duke was very happy at Tiffany's. A lot of space and attention to the dogs. Great communication and regular updates. I will definitely have Duke stay with her again.”

“Bethany is awesome! Very sweet and worked with my changing schedule which I appreciated so much. Chewy and Avery were very well cared for and had such a blast , they came home exhausted. Highly recommend Bethany and will definitely use her again :)”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Dexter by the Sea

About: My name is Kaitlyn, and I'm a dog trainer in the Grays Harbor area. I have been successfully working with owners to rehabilitate fearful and/or reactive dogs for almost a decade now. I have also been a competitive dog agility instructor for 7 years. My own dog is Oakley, a Miniature American Shepherd, and he helps me with fearful or reactive dog clients by being a neutral dog with great communication skills. Before becoming a dog trainer full time, I worked at a dog daycare in Mukilteo for 3 years. It was a great experience and gave me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and handling large groups of dogs. I compete in seven different dog sports with my own dogs, but we love agility and flyball most. I am available whenever I'm not already teaching classes or at a competition. Scheduling is open as we just moved to the new area from Seattle. I am experienced with dogs who are difficult or nervous around strangers. I use scientifically backed, LIMA guided dog training to guide dogs through their feelings as gently as I am capable while accomplishing learning. In any case, I like to engage with dogs in a way that's most comfortable for them. Each dog is different! I am not comfortable taking unfamiliar dogs off leash outside of the home or yard for safety reasons, but I am happy to work on this skill with them if requested!
