About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets and have always enjoyed being around animals. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine closely and treat them like they are my own. I am comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, including those that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience following specific care instructions such as feeding schedules, medication, and daily routines. I just graduated from Washington State University with my BA in Elementary Education and have dedicated my summer in completing my Masters in Education online. Which means I am VERY flexible with any hours needed for walks and checkups :) What sets me apart is how much I care about each animal’s comfort and happiness. I am willing to follow any instructions, no matter how specific, because I know every pet is different. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you are away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I recently graduated from Washington State University with my Bachelors in Elementary Education. This summer is dedicated to obtaining my Masters Online, so I do not have any huge responsibilities to worry about. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, trust, and following the owner’s instructions exactly as provided. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, so I make sure to stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, medication, and any other specific needs. I treat every home with respect and make sure it is left clean and as it was found. I also keep communication open by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away. My goal is to create a calm and safe environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space. I pay close attention to behavior and needs, especially for pets that may require extra patience or care, and I always make their well-being my top priority.

About: Hi there! I grew up around both cats and dogs and have become a life long lover of both! I couldn’t really say if I am more of a cat or dog person so I am both(: I have one cat of my own, Mr. Kitty, he is a classic farm cat that loves his evening cuddles! I have also become an impromptu doxie mum to my boyfriend’s 9 year old Snoopy and we just recently adopted Winnie. These two have brought so much joy into my life and I always look forward to them waiting for me at the door and going on all our adventures with us! I am a single mom who works part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or to hang out with your kitties! Pets are like children in my home so they get the same treatment as my daughter, lots of toys, couch cuddles, and snacks! Pets are just as spoiled as the humans around here!

I will diligently follow instructions and ask for clarification to make sure appropriate care and boundaries are met! In my home, my pets are very well taken care of and I engage with and play with them on a daily basis and ensure they get an appropriate amount of enrichment everyday.

About: Hi! I'm Dakota, and I've been around animals my entire life. From schnauzers and springer spaniels to Rottweilers and labs, I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe pets are family, and I love getting to know each animal's unique quirks and needs. I'm a dependable, punctual person who values honesty and communication. I understand that life happens and not everything is within our control. Whether schedules change unexpectedly or your pet needs a little extra patience and understanding, I'll always do my best to work with you and provide compassionate care. I have two energetic kids, a Russell Terrier, and a playful Labrador of my own, so caring for animals is simply part of my everyday life. I start each day with walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of pet care, and I end my days the same way. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for is second nature to me. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and quality one-on-one attention for your furry family members. I have a small fenced backyard that's perfect for supervised playtime and games of fetch. I also prioritize safety by avoiding outdoor activities during extreme temperatures and always following your pet's feeding schedules and care routines. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own.. with patience, kindness, consistency, and lots of love. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your animals, and I would be honored to be that person for your family. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I have two rambunctious kids, a Russell Terrier, and a Labrador of my own, so I understand that life with pets can be both busy and rewarding. I'm currently a full-time online student, and aside from my regular household responsibilities, I have a very flexible schedule. Checking in on fur babies is easy to accommodate and truly one of my favorite parts of the day. I love providing pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. I have a small, fully fenced backyard that provides a safe space for supervised outdoor play and games of fetch. My Labrador is very playful and loves having a canine companion to run around with! While my yard isn't large, it's plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and fun. Your pet's safety and routine are always my top priorities. I closely follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and outdoor time. Walks are also an important part of a dog's day, weather permitting, and I always check pavement temperatures to ensure it's safe for sensitive paws before heading out.

“Marsha seemed to do very well with Chloe. Our dog is a rescue pup, and she still has some separation anxiety, so it was great to have someone come by to play with her.”

“Matthew is incredible. He's very communicative, timely, and thorough. He went above and beyond in his care for our two cats and we will absolutely be looking to work with him again. He has my highest recommendation for those in need of pet care.”

About: I am from Tri Cities and have a passion for animals! I have 2 cats and two dachshunds of my own. I have watched a few of my friends dogs in the past, ranging different sizes. I would love to take your dog(s) for a walk! I currently work full time Mon- Fri, with time available after work or on weekends through the day. Would love to incorporate more animals in to my life since I cannot adopt anymore! We have a big house and fenced yard for animals to enjoy. Both of my cats are indoors and escape artists, so I am used to being very careful and attentive. I understand it is nerve wracking to have someone else watch over your pets and hope that they don’t escape their sight. I promise to do my very best to provide an attentive, loving, friendly approach with your animals. Both of my dogs are Dachsunds, meaning I am used to the most stubborn dog on the planet. I also understand the importance of home modifications for them to live happily and safely with us; so rest assured that I can relate to specific requests and attention to detail when caring for your babies.
