About My Business

AT THIS TIME GOOD DOG SITTER JACK, LLC IS NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT CURRENT CLIENTS OR APPOINTMENTS ALREADY ON THE CALENDAR. THANK YOU.

Good Dog Sitter Jack, LLC—a licensed, insured, and bonded professional pet-sitting and house-sitting service based in Port Townsend, servicing the Olympic Peninsula and surrounding area. I’m excited for the opportunity to care for your pets and home while you're away for work or travel.

With my services, you can rest assured that your pets are receiving attentive, experienced care in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in longer stays of three days or more and welcome large dogs. I provide 24/7 care for one household at a time, ensuring your pets receive my full attention.

As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I treat your pets with the same kindness and respect you expect—using positive reinforcement and maintaining their regular routines as closely as possible. Your home and property will be treated with the utmost respect and care.

About Me

My professional background includes:

• BS, MA, and a postgraduate management certificate

• Retired Firefighter-Medic and Deputy Fire Marshal (IAFF)

• Registered Environmental Health Specialist Emeritus (REHS-E)

• Former U.S. Park Ranger

• 25 years of experience in environmental health, including rabies intervention and animal welfare investigations

Good Dog Sitter Jack, LLC® is a licensed, insured, bonded, and registered LLC in Washington State. I’m also a proud member of Pet Sitters International (PSI).

I will consider long-term assignments outside the Olympic Peninsula if my schedule allows (with all travel expenses reimbursed).

Scheduling a Meet & Greet

Before our first sitting, I ask all new clients to schedule a free Meet & Greet so I can meet you and your pets. This gives us both a chance to ensure I’m the right fit for your needs. A mileage charge for meet & greets outside of the Port Townsend city limits applies.

To schedule a Meet & Greet, please reach out via:

• Text or voicemail: 530-598-7427

• Email: GoodDogSitterJack@outlook.com

• PSI Profile: Pet Sitters International
