“Tifany was a great dog sitter for our two German Shepherds. She is very professional and I felt comfortable having her in our home while we were away. I really appreciate her excellent communication skills. We will book her again and recommend her to others. Thank you Tifany!”
5. Dawn F.
“Dawn did an amazing job with my foster kitty on short notice! Upon returning home, he was completely relaxed and appeared not to miss me at all, which is exactly the way you want it! Moreover, Dawn left the house better than I left it. Would not hesitate to use her again!!”
6. Jorge F.
“Jorge is a dedicated animal lover. There is not an animal he doesn't love, except spiders and snakes! He has been known to rescue squirrels and baby rabbits in his spare time and he is always seeking out animals to shower with attention. Whether it be a praying mantis or tiny frog in his yard, he is fascinated with all wild life. He takes care of my animals when I am out of town and they are always well cared for and happy when I get home. He takes my dog on adventures and documents them to send me photos. He is very responsible and is always thinking about the animal's well being. I never worry when he is in charge of my furry children!”
7. Naima C.

8. Jax M.
“I could not recommend someone more!!! She is extremely talented with dogs! Jax handled our 3 big boys with so much grace and they have so much energy! She stayed in our home for 6 days with our pups and not once did i have to worried about them, which is such an amazing feeling! She cleaned up the house and followed instructions to a T! She is a great one, so look no further!!”
9. Sara H.
“I have two cats named Sam and Dean, and one dog named Little Bear. They are so much more than just pets. They are family members and should be taken care of as well as everyone else in the household. Sometimes I’m unable to bring them along when I need to go out of town and I used to just stay home and miss out. I didn’t have anyone in my life who I trusted enough to take care of them in my absence. That all changed when I met Sara. She cares for animals just as much as I do and after interviewing her and seeing her interact with Sam, Dean, and Little Bear, I knew I never had to miss out on another event again. I knew I could trust her to not only care for them the way I would, but to be in and out of my house while I was away. She is punctual, considerate, and just a joy to have in our lives. I would highly recommend her to care for your furry loved ones.”
10. Teagan M.
“Teagan is great with animals! I always trust her to take great care of my pets! I would definitely recommend her to take care of your furry friends!”
11. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is a compassionate attentive person who will put the care of your pet above all. Despite the challenges my dog presented she was never fearful or unwilling to stop working with her and celebrated the small successes along the way. Thank you Jennifer for your care.”
12. Leslie C.
“I highly recommend Leslie, she has come to my house to take care of my two dogs ! She does a great job taking them for walks and feeding schedules.”
13. Kila S.
“Kila watched my dogs last minute on a holiday weekend and she checked in often, asked lots of questions and took great care of them. We have two labrador retrievers and Kila was knowledgeable about the breed and attentive to the care the required. I’d ask Kila to watch my dogs anytime!”
14. Cambree C.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life and have been taking care of animals for years. I love caring for animals of all kinds, and I am a very reliable and responsible individual. I am looking for pet owners in need of some help in hopes of making some extra money :) I am working part time in Walla Walla but have a pretty open schedule and wouldn’t be unavailable for more than 6 hours during the week I am very trustworthy and responsible. I am open to taking requests. I can walk, feed, play fetch, give medications. Whatever your pet may need :)
15. Jacob K.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my household since I was five years old . I have had 2 cats and 1 dog to myself and have absolutely loved them just as they were like my family.!:) My dream job my whole life is to do what I'm doing now and making money while doing it !!. My goal is to make enough money to add on to what I have to make it to college to become a vet! So I would really appreciate the more learning and experience with animals before then !! Thankyou!:) Any day of the week is fine for me. I would like the most jobs as possible, the more experience the better . I am currently not working ATM trying to persue my dream of working with animals full time ! I treat animals like a human being, with love, care, affection and making sure they are as happy as they can possibly be! I'm willing to adapt to the animal in whatever they need to make them happy and feel like they are at home !

About: I love walking my dogs, taking them outside and caring for kitties! They make me so happy to be able to help them out with their needs. I’m currently working part time and have every morning free except Sunday until 11 and most evenings free after 5. Mondays and Tuesdays are most convenient for me! My 2 dogs love running around in my fenced yard, and they love playing around. My cat is a bit reclusive, but they can all be friends with your pets
