Pet Sitting Benton City

About: Hello, Not sure how to genuinely list my experience as it spans a lifetime of owning and caring for dogs and cats. If I were to assign a number without aging myself... it would be about a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. :) Professionally, I worked for Kadlec Regional Medical Center for 12 years in nutrition services. In 2022, I left my role to be at home with our youngest child, and now that child is about to start school. Now I'm reentering into the workforce aligning with a passion and skill of mine. In addition to specifically supporting our household these past three years, I have also provided part time pet sitting, dog walking, bathing, and light grooming for friends and family. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether you're booking a stop by visit, a walk, or short stay, my goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. Reliability and communication are especially important to me. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I make it a priority to be dependable, follow routines closely, respond, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind. I genuinely care about the well-being of both pets and their owners, and I look forward to building trusted relationships with the families I serve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I keep my schedule flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I make it a priority to be dependable and on time. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and follow all instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and providing a calm, caring environment where pets can feel relaxed while their owners are away.

“Dakota did a wonderful job! She was friendly and very capable with our dog Koa. I was always in the loop and updated often regarding the visits. I would absolutely recommend her for any rover services you need.”

“So thankful we found Mariah. She has been so responsive and helpful. Always on time, provides great daily updates, and the best pictures. Her sweet disposition automatically put me at ease along with our pups.”

“Marsha was amazing with our very anxious and nervous (covid pup not socialized much) Great Dane. During our meet and greet she continually tried connecting with him and didn’t give up trying to make him feel safe. I appreciate the photos she sent along with his behavior updates while we were away. Our pup seemed to have warmed up was allowing her to pet him when we returned home. Nervous pet? Marsha is the one! Will be booking with her again.”

“I was hesitant on who to watch my dogs while away. Alexis made me very comfortable with her she showed love to my fur babies. Highly recommend. She sent daily pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing”

Mark B.

“Perrin conducted drop-in visits for my two kitties over a four-day period, and she was excellent. Very attentive and obviously an animal lover with their best interest at heart. I highly recommend Perrin and will seek her help the next time I need a cat sitter!”

About: I love animals and they love me! I have been pet sitting for 3 years and have several repeat clients. I have had medical needy dogs I care for, senior dogs, and so many more. I love to help reduce their stress when their family is gone. I make it my job. I am there for the pets so I work my routine around them. Our pets are our family members and I work to give them the care and love they desire while the family is absent. I ask clients questions before hand, ask for a full list of instructions of what the pets require at bed time, meal time, potty time, and kenneling. I ask to meet the clients pets before the pet sitting date so their pets have met me and ask them to show me where they keep all the pet supplies so I can make sure they can leave their pets in my care without having to worry about a thing.

“Jessica will be checking in on my pets while I’m on vacation. We’ve setup a few visits prior to let them get to know one another. My little Aussie-Poo can be a bit timid with new people, but Jessica has been very good with gaining his trust. Jessica has been very accommodating with scheduling. I’m very happy with her watching my fur babies.”

Deborah H.

“Melina is a great pet sitter. She is reliable, and she does an excellent job taking care of my cats. I feel relaxed when I’m gone because I know my cats are in good hands. I highly recommend her.”

Jennifer G.

“Heidi was super responsive and available for a last minute trip. My kitty looked like she was having lots of fun in all the pictures!”

Ben L.

“Kylee was great! She let me book on short notice and accommodated my cats early morning schedule while I was away. She had great communication, and gave me updates about my cats water fountain, how well he was eating, and even helped to reset my litter robot when it had an error.”

Margaux Q.

“Courtney did an amazing job as always taking care of our two cats!”

About: I've had pets since I was born, so usually i'm quick to be befriended by most animals. Over the years I have had experience with taking care of many pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and I’m always loving and attentive with all of them! I am available for regular walks in Tri-cities and overnight stays in both my camper home/your home! I am also available for walks weekdays between 7am-5pm weekdays (depending on location). Weekends I am available from 7am-3pm, unless boarding which is much more flexible! Care for your pets will be given with my absolute undivided attention! Pets are always welcome in my camper home, which sits on a grassed garden area in lovely Benton City. I kindly ask that supplies (including doggy bags, crates and bowls) should be provided by you upon arrival, as well as anything your pet may find comforting to have with them.

“David was great with our finicky boys?! He was right on time, communicated back to us all that was going on with them. We appreciate you so much!!! Thank you ?”

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet sitter with five years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've always loved animals, and being able to care for them has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care and attention they need. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel at ease, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in caring hands. I work full-time with a consistent, fixed schedule, which allows me to plan pet care visits reliably. Because my work hours don't change, I can offer dependable availability before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. This predictable schedule helps me provide consistent, attentive care while ensuring every pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. I'm happy to discuss my availability to make sure it's a great fit for your pet's needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet may need. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away, and I always respect your home by keeping it clean and secure. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, so I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, comfortable pet and the peace of mind that they were well cared for.

About: I have had dogs in my home for the majority of my life and loved every minute of it. After recently losing our girl to old age I’ve been missing time with fur babies. They really are the best! I’ve joined Rover to love on other fur babies and get some steps in all at the same time! I currently work as a medical device rep so my schedule is extremely variable and based on if I have cases scheduled or not. I have found myself working much less than I’m used to and because of that I’m looking to pick up a new hobby/side hustle as I enjoy keeping myself busy. I would prefer to meet any fur babies for the first time with the owner present. This is very important to me. I want to feel comfortable with your dog and build some trust. My biggest priority is to keep myself and your dog safe.

“Kaylee did a great job with our dogs she even brushed them for us! Our pups always looked very happy during the check in photos. We definitely will be using her again!”

About: Ive had a dog as long as I can remember and volunteereed at animal shelters in my area for years. I love animals of all kinds and being around them, and look forward to helping with your furry friends! I hope to have a future in the vet tech industry as well. I will treat your pet like family and make sure they are loved and cared for properly! I have plenty of free time to look after your furry friends while im adapting to being in a new town. I am free most days and able to check on your friends! I have a part time job with short shifts (4 hour shifts typically) so I am never away for long! I can keep your fur baby company and provide a safe space for them based on their needs. While my home is not currently available, I am happy to make sure your pet isnt alone in theirs while you work or tend to obligations.

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.
