About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs! I’ve been watching and caring for family friends’ pets in their houses for over a year now for various amounts of time and I love it. I do what I do to take care of your pets but also to give you peace of mind while you’re away! I don’t have a job right now, but I am planning on working part time soon, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I leave for the gym & occasionally to go home, but other than that, I enjoy staying at the house &taking care of the pets! I play with the pets frequently as well as taking them on walks as often as the owner desires! I follow all meal time and other instructions to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. I can also send daily check ins if that is wanted!

“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 have had many dogs and cats in my 30 year lifetime. I love my pets and want the best for them, so I understand how others feel about their animals. I have been pet and house sitting professionally for the last 3 years. I always follow owner’s directions exactly, and enjoy brushing, walking and playing with both dogs and cats. Currently my wife and I have a 7 year old cat whom we play with daily, brush and give all love to as well. I take him to the vet for a check up every year in a soft travel cat carrier and update his vaccinations. I would like to pet sit more cats in the future. I’m also a good communicator who updates pet owners and shares pictures if they want them. If I’m staying overnight, I leave the home picked up and clean. I have been learning a lot from my wife who has grown up doing dog, horse and sheep 4-H. She is my go to person for more information, or if puppies, kittens or farm animals are involved. My schedule is very flexible. I’m always able to care for pets throughout mornings, and afternoons. I work a swing shift in the evenings Monday through Thursday from 4pm - 9:00. I am able to take care of pets before and after this block of time. I can stay overnight any evening in the week. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I’m free anytime to care for pets. I give a high level of pet care. I am an active and fit person who will not just “watch” your pet. I will use their toys, play with them, walk the dogs, and even enjoy going on a run or to a park. I brush and bathe dogs when that’s needed too. It just depends on what you the owner prefers. I follow directions exactly and if the animal is old or sick I am happy to administer medication, help them move around the house or go outside and will be careful and mindful of their safety and limitations. I am used to dogs with food allergies and dietary restrictions as well. I do not disturb your stuff or property. I leave things as you left them and even keep things clean.

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!

About: I've worked with many kinds of animals, from your usual cats and dogs, to less usual like snakes and chickens, to off the rocker usual like a buffalo. I've also babysat many kids over the past 10 years. I've also cared for elderly for almost a year, and I've watched many different animals since I got my first cat. I work part time, so I have a lot of free time for pet care and play. Most of my weeks are free, I'm only not available for one day every four days. I do out of home sitting, so I can take your pet on walks, feed, play with them, or just keep them company and out of trouble. Special instructions are easy for me to follow!

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!

About: We come from a multi-pet big-dog family. We have a dog of our own that came from a family litter. She's 4yrs old and is part of a hearing service dog program. Let us know if you're ok with or would like for us to bring our dog with while we hangout with your animal. We've spent professional time tending to animals in animal care settings. IF your animal is under 2yrs old, we'd like documentation of the vaccines they've received thus far so that we can keep us and ours safe. We're prepared & equipped for: - large breed dogs - mixed breed dogs - dog & cat households - social/anti social dogs - sensitive dogs - velcro dogs (dogs that prefer to stay w/ or be around their human pack) - reactionary dogs - all life stages (newborn to elder) - full time outside/inside dogs - working dogs - cats & all their moods Pet care is our daily routine. We work unconventional hours/days. Give us ample notice and we'll be there for your animals like they're our own. What we can offer is what we'd hope for. Someone to take care of our non-human family like we would, someone who's capable, trustworthy, and knows their field. We're naturalists and prefer to be around animals. Fenced yards are everything ! Then again, we've lived in many places where we didn't have that luxury. We're ready for neighborhood walks, dog car rides (seatbelts included), dog parks if that's your ballpark, or ready to roam around your abode just to stimulate your animal. Studying animal behavior has made us pretty good at reading dog cues, especially bathroom and fatigue/needing calm for zzz. We just ask that you're honest about your dogs needs, wants, routine, and capabilities. Care for your animal is same for your home. We'll treat it with kindness as we would our own. We know how an animals home environment can be the most stabilizing thing, especially when their family is away, so we know just how to make ourselves part of your home so your animal can do their thing. Enrichment is one of our passions. Be assured that any down time will be mixed with sensory, olfactory ,or environmental enrichment for your animal should you desire.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been part of our family. I’ve had experience caring for family pets, dog sitting for friends, and cat sitting for my professors. Getting a dog as an adult has completely changed the game for me and I’ve gone full-blown dog mom mode. This has allowed me to become very attentive to specific needs and expectations for pets and their owners! I am recently graduated and looking for something to occupy my time while I job hunt! Since I’m actively job searching, my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available most weekdays between 10am-7pm and occasionally weekends :) My priority is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away and ensure that their needs are being met. No request is too specific! As a dog mom, I know we follow specific rituals, schedules, or feeding requests to keep our pets comfy :) I am always willing to accommodate to them, just let me know!

“Toni is super friendly and will take great care of your pet(s). I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again for dog walking. A+++”

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.

“Clair is great! She follows instructions, walked at Mo’s pace, and took care of him like I would. I booked longer because my dog(Mo) is a slow walker. She fed him, made sure his water bowls had fresh water and also gave him just supplements when needed, and treat. Will user her services in the future again!”

About: As a child I was raised in a home filled with cats, dogs, and birds, my love for animals has been a constant throughout my life. Cats and dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I’ve cherished their unique personalities and companionship. Furthermore, I have always had a passion for helping animals in need. About 13 years ago, I rescued my Chihuahua, Ivory, nursing her back to health and learning the importance of patience and care in animal rehabilitation. She recently passed away about three weeks ago, she was my best friend. Being around other pets and helping take care of them during this time is something that brings my heart much needed joy and medicine. Whether they need playtime, TLC, or extra care, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets happy and healthy while you're away. I currently run my own small business and am working on becoming an established organization. I am currently looking for fulfilling and wholesome side jobs that I will enjoy to help fund the dream. Due to being self-employed I have flexibility in my schedule. Monday through Friday I am able to assist during my lunch breaks or in between clients from 11am to 4pm. As someone who values honesty, integrity, and sincerity, I am committed to providing the highest level of care for your pets. I adhere to all health, safety, and pet care instructions, guidelines, and procedures given to me by each client, ensuring that your pet's needs are met with the utmost attention. When you choose me to care for your pets in your home, you can expect a dedicated approach that prioritizes their comfort and well-being. I recognize that maintaining a consistent routine is vital for pets, so I follow their established schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime. My goal is to ensure your furry companions feel secure and loved while you’re away.

When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, my priority is always their safety, trust, and environment. I make sure the space is pet-friendly, free from hazards, and comfortable for them. I follow a routine to ensure they feel secure and at ease. I also build trust by spending quality time with them, respecting their boundaries, and providing positive reinforcement. For pets in my care, I ensure they have fresh food, water, and clean spaces, and I always make time for exercise and play. Whether in my home or a client's, I create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for.
