Skilled & Reliable Pet Sitting by an Experienced Veterinary Assistant


Hello, I'm Desirée Stanning and I specialize in extended overnight stays of 1-6 weeks for a service area extending throughout Northern Clallam, Northern Kitsap and Jefferson Counties. I provide drop-in services for those closer to Sequim WA.
After 40+ years of animal ownership, large and small animal care, pet sitting and working in the animal/veterinary industry, I began
FIN2FARM PET SITTING LLC
in late 2022. I wanted to set myself apart from hobbies sitters by licensing and insuring my company. I am a professional pet sitter with extensive experience and knowledge. FIN2FARM PET SITTING began in Sequim Washington and provides pet care throughout Western Washington.
I am an experienced veterinary assistant who enjoys overnight house and pet sitting (in your home), drop-ins for clients within 20 minutes of Sequim Washington and assistance with at home veterinary nursing. Being licensed, insured and certified in pet CPR & emergent care, I can afford you peace of mind while you travel.
To share a little bit about me, I grew up on a hobby farm in SW Washington State in the shadow of Mount Saint Helens. We had cats, dogs and horses from the time I was a small child. We also had the occasional cow, goat, llama, sheep, pig, rabbit, tortoise, goose, chicken, duck, guinea fowl & fish.
Understandably, I developed an interest in veterinary medicine. I attended Colorado State University and majored in Animal Science specializing in Equine Science. Since then I've worn many hats. This has included working and volunteering in the veterinary field, farm/stable help, equine rehabilitator & pet/house sitter.
During a short break from the veterinary field, I needed a way to connect with animals outside of the clinic. That's how FIN2FARM PET SITTING was born.
I offer a responsible, educated and savvy level of care for your fur babies. I will make sure your pets are cared for and your home is kept safe. Having pet sat through landslides, ice storms, flooding, power outages, snow and wind storms, I can be depended upon to safely navigate whatever circumstances may develop during my stay. Aside from keeping your pets happy and healthy, my main objective is to allay any worries you may have before and during your trip. At your request, I am happy to send you pictures and updates once or twice a day.
As part of my service, I'll be more than happy to administer oral and injectable medication. I'll tidy up after myself and your pets. I will pick up mail and attend to a few small & light packages, as well as put your garbage and recycling out. Most "Could you also..." requests will be honored for a fee. Light plant watering will also be included however I will need specific instructions regarding plant care. My forte is fauna, not flora.
**FIN2FARM PET SITTING accepts only CASH, CHECK, ZELLE and VENMO**

While pet sitting at your home, I'll care for your pets and keep your home safe. I'll treat your fluffy little darlings as if they were my own. I'll sleep with them, play with them, and of course be at their beck and call. I enjoy pet sitting for perfectly healthy pets, however, if you have a pet who needs medication or monitoring, then I'm your gal. Oral medication and simple injections are included in this service for pets easy to medicate. Unlike many other pet sitters, I will leave your pets for only short periods of time. Generally 2-4 hours daily at most. 24 hour care is also available for

For clients within a 20 minute radius of Sequim needing a drop in feed/potty/medicate.
Extended visits can be customized to suit your needs. This includes extended care while you escape for a day trip to to Seattle or Victoria.

This includes things like helping you medicate your pet and administer fluids. Please note I am very limited in what I can do while not under the supervision of a veterinarian. Basically, if you've been sent home with instructions from your veterinarian, you may ask me to assist you. I will travel further for medical needs than for regular drop-ins. I do not express anal glands or trim nails. You'll have to turn to a groomer or your vet for that service.
I will spend the night in your home caring for your home, pets and/or livestock. I'll be at your home for most of my stay. Leaving for only short periods of time
The price of each overnight stay includes 3 healthy small animal (dog, cat, rabbit, etc) with a fenced yard. Oral medication and simple injections are included for those animals easy to medicate. Prices for some lifestages, large animals, exotics, medically needy, difficult to medicate pets, etc will vary. Please contact FIN2FARM PET SITTING LLC with questions.
Prices will vary. Please contact FIN2FARM PET SITTING
For returns falling outside of the 24 hour time frame, I reserve the right to charge for that time. For example, a pet sit beginning at 8:00 am on one day and ending at 8:00 pm on another day may be charged for 12 hours or 50% of the charge for an entire day.
Spending 30 minutes with your pet(s) for feeding/potty breaks/medication/short walk
In order to secure your Reservation, I ask for a deposit of 50% of the entire agreed upon amount. I find it easiest to take care of the deposit at the Meet & Greet. The remainder of the fee is due at the beginning of the pet sit.
FIN2FARM PET SITTING LLC accepts CASH CHECK VENMO & ZELLE
My generous cancellation policy allows for a full refund if cancelled at least 21 days before the scheduled pet sit. Cancellations closer to the pet sit will be refunded on a prorated scale. I will attempt to fill those dates. You will be responsible for any dates that I'm unable to rebook. In order to cancel your reservation, you must speak directly with me via cell phone at 360.901.3832. Texts, messages and emails sometimes get lost, thus the need for a phone conversation.
The 2 days before and after the following holidays will incur a Holiday Fee of $20.00/day. The holidays referred to are New Years Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day and New Years Eve

MINIMUM ACCOMMODATIONS: For overnight stays, I will need a clean and safe place to eat, sleep, shower and park. I will also need access to your washing machine and dryer. Finally, I must have the freedom to adjust your thermostat during my stay for comfort and health.
RABIES: All dogs and cats must be vaccinated for Rabies (as required by state law).
LEASHES: For insurance reasons, please understand I am unable to exercise your dog OFF leash when in public.
AGGRESSION: I am unable to provide service for any animal that has aggressively bitten other pets or humans. All other forms of aggression MUST be disclosed and discussed further. Please note, I am not an animal behaviorist.
BARKING: I am not able to care for dogs who Bark excessively.
HOUSE BROKEN: I'll be happy to help a young "Tinkler in Training" make good choices with frequent trips outside. Same with the ill or aged. While I realize all fur babies can have an occasional accident in the house (especially when stressed or ill), I am unable to sit for a dog or cat who has accidents often or is not house broken.
VISITORS/HOUSEKEEPING: While seeming innocuous, visits from service providers, friends and family pose certain unexpected challenges. It is best to schedule these visits for a time when you are home.
SURVEILLANCE: While serving a purpose, cameras are intrusive and make my stay very uncomfortable. Therefore I require the disabling of all security cameras that surveille inside of your home. This is especially important with overnight stays. Should you have any outdoor cameras that point INTO your home, I will either need these turned off or I'll require blinds, curtains or some other obstruction to afford me privacy. As per Washington state law, I do not consent to audio recordings of any kind.
WEATHER: Regarding winter travel, I will try to add a buffer at the end of each pet sit in case of flight delays and adverse driving conditions. In the spring, summer and fall I'll be less likely to add a buffer.
PAPERWORK: Please note I need you to fill out all of my paperwork. Liability Paperwork and Veterinary Emergency Care Authorization Paperwork must be completed and submitted at the Meet & Greet or time of deposit. I will be unable to begin your pet sit without your signature on both the Liability Paperwork and Veterinary Emergency Care Authorization Paperwork. Should you find issue with either of these documents, please let me know immediately as we will need to cancel the sit.
