She sent us pictures the day after we left and had them all cleaned up (I know they were a mess after being in this wet nasty weather) and ready to go with more updated pictures the day we picked them up. Thank you!”

We will always choose Maria to watch our dog going forward!”
“Benny had a blast running around their fully fenced large backyard. Thank you both for spoiling our boy while we were away. I know he looks forward to his next doggie stay!”
“Donna was so nice to our little old man beagle. When we came to pick him up he thought we were just taking him outside to use the bathroom and then he tried to go right back into the house. Obviously he is missing his summer camp friends and Donna’s kindness. If you need a local sitter in Port Orchard you’ll be happy with her.”

It was the first time I've ever had anyone babysit my puppy and it could not have gone better. Thank you Wynona and family for taking such wonderful care of Hank!”

We are so grateful to have peace of mind while we were so far away. Thank you all so much!”

Their attention to detail and genuine concern for our pet's well-being make them, in our opion, an outstanding choice for anyone seeking top-notch dog boarding services.”

About: I am new to the world of cats but determined to make your loved one my best friend! I have a few neighborhood cats that I feed and am always looking for more experiences with pets of any kind.
“Wynona jumped in to help us out when our regular sitter was unavailable. She was wonderful!! She was prompt, communicative, and helped looked after our home while we were gone. She went out of her way to visit an additional day when I had a delivery too. Super sweet, and thoughtful. She even came by ahead of time to learn the nuances. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria was amazing! My animals were well attended, the food bowls rinsed and in the dishwasher, the litter cleaned. All instructions were followed and beyond. I will definitely have Victoria back again!”
“Constance was quick to reply from the very beginning even when I first reached out and had never used Rover for a cat sitter. She took the time to come over for a meet and greet to get the layout and to learn our cats feeding schedule and where the toys and food and trays were located. I loved receiving the little notes and photos of our cat after every visit. These check ins were peace of mind that our cat was being well cared for while getting some snuggle and playtime in each day. Thank you so much for caring for the well-being of our cat while we were away. We will contact Constance again since she did great!”
“There are not enough stars to describe how lovingly Meghan and her family cared for our Siamese cat, Koala. They made Koala's physical and emotional comfort their personal business, and it showed in how quickly he warmed up to them. We picked up a cat that had clearly enjoyed his time with them. We wholeheartedly recommend Meghan as a trusted caregiver for your pet.”

About: I’ve had cats on and off my whole life, from kittens, to senior cats. One of my current cats, Green Beans, was adopted after he suffered a tail injury and it had to be amputated. This allowed me to get familiar with caring for an injured cat. I make sure to keep all cats litter boxes fresh and clean everyday, and give lots of toys to keep them happy and entertained!

We have since used Cathleen's pet boarding (one week), daycare, and training services, and have been very satisfied. Our dogs have come home happy and more settled after time with her, and her training is calm and effective.”
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”

We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”

About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.

About: I have a deep understanding and genuine love for animals. My approach involves creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy my home or in their own home. I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs, whether it's providing extra playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship. With a keen eye for detail, I pay close attention to specific instructions and routines, ensuring a seamless experience for both the pet and their owner. Your furry friends are not just clients to me; they become cherished companions, and I take pride in fostering a bond built on trust and affection. I work remotely so your pet will have my full attention. I am available to let them out throughout the day and a daily walk! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. When sitting in my own space, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. Daily routines are maintained, including regular walks, playtime, and adherence to feeding schedules. In clients' homes, I strive to replicate the familiar surroundings and routines the pets are accustomed to. This minimizes stress and anxiety, providing a seamless transition in their owners' absence. I adhere strictly to any special instructions, dietary needs, and medication schedules. Whether in my home or theirs, the foundation of my pet care service is built on creating a secure, loving atmosphere that promotes the overall happiness and well-being of the furry companions entrusted to me.

About: I have four years of experience working in a dog daycare, in addition to caring for family and friends' pets since I was nine years old. My lifelong affinity for animals drives my dedication to their well-being and happiness. Over the years, I've developed a strong understanding of the importance of patience and empathy in providing exceptional care for pets. I'm working part time but, I'm overall fairly available on a day to day basis to help out with pet care needs and occasional overnight boarding. I am working on creating a daycare space in the basement to be able to provide boarding and day time care for the community (: I also can do basic baths & nail trims. My home is 10acres with a dog run, access to water, shelter and many sniffing spots to explore. Pups would stay in my room with me over night with frequent potty breaks during the day and play time in the run. I ensure that all animals are well fed, hydrated, and stimulated if they need to get rid of some energy. I love going on hikes and to water sources. I'm capable of more intense medical care such as medicine administration, wound care, etc.
About: We had a lot of dogs growing up in my family, basic command, hygiene and just love to have them around including my service dog. I usually walk my dog in the mornings and evenings, this will help me and my dog socializing and also doing some exercise during the walks. I take her to the park to play and sometimes to swim a little bit. I have my paperwork where I usually ask about any allergies, incapacity or any behavior that I need to be aware. What are the things they are allowed to eat and how many times they go out during the day. Basically pet care for me is on daily bases. Follow a healthy and comfortable routine for you and your doggo is important. Good food, exercise and socialization is the main key. For both of the locations I create an area with familiar smells, toys and treats. Provide long walks, play time and potty breaks as well.
“Zara had a wonderful first time visit with Stacey and River & Birdie. Stacey made her feel comfortable around the bigger dogs and she loved the one-on-one attention from Stacey. My pup was happy and tired when I picked her up. I will definitely book with her again.”
“We are so grateful to Celia and her wonderful family for taking care of our dog. They are so positive and loving. Tesla came home excited and obviously well cared for. I really don’t want to leave a review and have Celia‘s business fill because we will be bringing Tesla back on a weekly basis. They are the best dog sitters we’ve ever had.”
“Amanda is amazing! She was so kind to watch my 13 week old golden retriever puppy Millie. Millie played all day! She was able to meet a new friend and run and dig to her hearts content. Amanda was so sweet to send me pictures and videos so I was not anxious during her first day away.”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”

I like to walk for exercise and, of course, it's better with a dog (or two or three)! In your home, I and my small senior dog will take good care of your pet(s) as well as your property. We like to go for walks every day.
“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”
“my girls love solace so much it’s such a relief to know she’s going to be coming by to take care of them on my long work days. the pictures and videos she sends make my day! i wish i had the money for her to come every day, just to make my doggy happy haha”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“I highly recommend Matthew —he’s professional, reliable, and truly puts us at ease knowing our pup is in great hands. His care makes a big difference for both us and our dog.”
