About: We are huge dog lovers and have our own crew of rescue dogs. We have been involved in dog rescue for many years on and off! Noella is a SAHM. So she is generally home unless out on and adventure or running errands/appointments. Niles has Saturday and Sunday off and is home evenings. We have 3 indoor cameras so we can check in while we are work or away for any reason. We own the home and property and have almost 2 acres, with a large portion securely fenced. We pair your dog with our dogs that are appropriate for age, play, and general personality similarities. Little dogs can be separate from large dogs if needed/preferred. Dogs are always supervised- whether indoors or out! We just want to extend our love and passion for dogs to others! Young dogs-seniors are all welcome in all shapes and sizes! Our home is their home! We have a secure indoor kennel and outdoor kennel if needed. Special diets are no problem! We are willing to do anything for your dog that you do! Pictures and updates are always provided! We do require that all dogs be fully vaccinated and on flea/ tick medication.

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

“Becky was so great! Super thoughtful. Great updates. Even gave Aspen a handmade little toy on a day she walked her. Couldn’t say enough positives”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all different kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Currently my family owns two huskies, a German Shepherd/Border Collie Mix, and a German Shepherd/Pit Mix! Beyond my own pups, I regularly dog sit for six amazing families and truly treat each pet like they’re part of my own pack. I’ve also had the joy of caring for horses, cows, goats, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals and their unique needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for! I’m starting a fully online master’s program in social work, which means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a clients home, my top priority is making sure that your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved in their own space. I follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep their daily routine consistent to reduce stress. I also respect your home as if it was my own- cleaning up after myself (and your pet!), keeping things tidy and making sure your pets feels at easy while you’re gone. I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

“Such a kind soul and amazing with animals. My girl is really shy to everyone but always has a blast with Paige. Thank you Paige for all you do and give me such a peace of mind!”

“Ashley was great! She came over for an initial walk to meet our pup while we were home, at our request, before starting weekly walks during the work day. She responded very promptly and was polite and flexible. Our dog was very happy after the walk and we are very excited to keep working with Ashley.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and demeanors since I was a young kid and to this day friends and family rely on me to care for their pets when they’re out of town. There’s little that phases me and I’m good at adapting to a pet’s needs. I’m also good with plants! I work as a newspaper reporter in downtown Centralia and have a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to slip out of the office when needed and check in on your pet. My 11-year-old cat and I share a studio apartment with a fenced outdoor “catio” for enrichment. When caring for your pet in your home, I will carefully respect your property and ensure that everything is clean and in place when you return.

About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. Need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays? We’ve got you covered. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.

About: I have lived with many different animals my whole life and have taken care of more than just my own. I have cared for friends', previous roommates' and family members' animals. Each one has quickly found me to be like a secondary owner. Of all the animals that I've cared for (birds, cats, dogs, rats, ferrets, and more) i found that I like cats, dogs, and ferrets to be the most fun and rewarding. Though I love all animals! I even make it a habit to feed and play with stray animals. I wish to bring them all home, but my apartment doesn't allow pets. Allow me to care for your pets while you're away and I'll make sure that they are happy and healthy while they await your return home. I'm currently pregnant so I'm taking some time to myself. Meaning I'm free all day every day. I'm more or a night owl, but will care for your animal whenever needed. I am very literal and follow orders to the letter. I will never do anything that you the owner haven't said is OK or not. If I have any questions I will not hesitate to contact you. The person who knows more about their animal is you the owner, so I will look to you for guidance. Want to make sure that each and every animal receives the same treatment that you give!

About: As an AKC conformation and sport handler, I have experience with animals off all shapes, sizes and abilities! My experience extends to special needs, elderly, intact, in heat, puppy/kittens, exotic, large and strong pullers. In my home I have space separate from my animals, a fully fenced side yard and plenty of my own tools, leashes/collars of all sizes and supplies. I am a stay at home mom with no obligations besides Sunday church! You can count on me to have lots of time for your furry friend. I can cater my care to specifically what your pet requires. As an experienced AKC handler I have seen just about every breed and temperament under the sun.

About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 8 years old. I am 25, I have a Golden Retriever named Maya and a Cavalier King Charles puppy named Archie! ! I have had all kinds of pups and kittens from young to old! I will make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable and aim to have you as a repeat client! I strive to be as flexible as possible and I’m extremely passionate about just being involved with animals of all kinds! I have taken care of senior dogs, special needs dogs and cats, given medication and assisted in grooming as well as other pet services. I have also assisted in ranch and farm sitting! I went to a vet tech program. So I am well versed with unique situations with all different pets. I hope to hear from you soon! As a pet owner myself, I am very good at managing my time and schedule with pets. I make sure I only schedule myself to be available on the days I know I can give 100% at being an amazing sitter! I currently live in a home but do not provide boarding services due to landlord restrictions. However I will treat your babies like I treat my own!

“Guadalupe is AWESOME! Rafa LOVES her and asked secretly to be adopted by her. Seriously, our dog really enjoys his visits with Guadalupe. She is perfectly capable of handling a our large pup that fluncked-out of and was asked not to return to a boarding resort from a "professional trainer".”

About: Hi! I’m a paraeducator who works at a local school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.

About: I will make sure your dog knows I care about them, I am very hands on. I love playing, petting, just having a good time with animals. There are some great trails around the area that I have heard about that I would love to take your dog with me to explore (as long as that is okay with you) and I will make sure your dog has a great time with me. I currently work a part time overnight job, but I am not getting many hours at all so my availability is pretty open. I have been pet sitting for about 1 year now, and I really enjoy it. Before that, I had a dog of my own, but she passed recently, so I am eager to pass on my love for her, to any other animals that I can.

“Mary took great care of my wild child. She was a recent rescue afraid of everything. Mary managed to make friends on the meet and greet and provided the services I needed.”

About: Since I was young, I have always had large breed dogs in the household, Rottweilers and German Shepards, and have always been comfortable with them. While in high-school and college, my fiance and I raised puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, 4 of our 5 puppies finished the program and were matched with people in need. We helped co-raise around 6 additional puppies as well. We also love cats, we have a tabby-calico mix named Teva, a lyxn point siamese named Minnie, and a gray siamese mix named Baby. Pima, one of the puppies that did not complete the program has been with us for 11 years now, and we have loved every moment of it. I am currently between jobs and basically open all the time. My fiance is a school teacher so I do prefer to have the weekend off. I do have a fully fenced yard, our cats are indoor only, but one does go outside on a leash because she is adventurous. Very respectful of other's space.
