Pet Sitting Chain Hill

“Ellen was absolutely amazing!! We even had to ask her so last minute and she graciously accepted. We would not hesitate to have her watch our dogs again and will be asking her anytime she’s available. Thanks Ellen!”

“Ashley did great with our two high energy dogs (labradoodle & black lab)! Really appreciated her detailed report on the drop-in and how they did during her visit. Will hire again for drop-in visits and dog care when needed!”

“Stephanie did a wonderful job for our most recent service, always on time with updates and pictures, taking in our mail, playing with our two cats and dealing with all forms of communication. We look forward to her coming back!”

“This was our first time with a new pet sitter here in WA and it was really lovely to get home and find all our babies restful and relaxed. She took care of all their needs (we have 4 senior babies) and even checked off the list I left for her! She updated me with texts too which was really nice. Thank you Ronda!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even a parrot—so caring for them is basically part of my DNA. I’m currently in school to become a dog trainer because working with animals isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely what I love. I volunteer with a local shelter where I walk dogs, help ease kennel stress, and run playgroups for pups of all personalities. This year I even spent time volunteering at a dog shelter in Greece, which gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of temperaments and behavior quirks. I’m well-versed in positive reinforcement training and behavior modification, and I’m also certified in animal CPR and first aid—so your pet is in safe, capable hands. Whether your dog is shy, silly, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here for it. Also I go by my middle name, Chasse. Pronounced chase. But Donald is fine too I'm currently finishing school to be a dog trainer and I only work on call. I also have conferences and school stuff that occasionally take me out of state, which will be reflected on my calendar. I do playgroups at the shelter 3pm on every Thursday. Outside of that, I'm avaible. I can't board pets in my own home unfortunately. When it comes to boarding in your home, I suppose we can work out the details

“Amy was great! Sent me pictures and updates every day and the animals were happy and comfortable my entire trip.”

About: I have loved caring for animals since I was about 10 years old! I used to walk my neighbors’ dogs and give them baths, which helped me gain experience caring for different dogs. I also have a Doberman that I raised from a puppy and helped become very well-behaved. Raising him has taught me patience, consistency, and how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and needs. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and the love I have for animals. I will treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾❤️ Writing I work part-time, usually no more than five hours a day for about three days a week, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I have school on Tuesdays from 12:40 to 3:30 p.m., but outside of those commitments, my schedule is pretty flexible. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, baths, and giving your pets lots of love and attention. I want to make sure your pets get the care they need while you're away! Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. I always want animals to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. In a client's home, I would follow their instructions carefully, stick to the pet's normal routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of attention. I would always be careful with doors, gates, and leashes to keep pets safe. I also understand that every animal is different, so I would take the time to learn their personality and needs. I would treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own!

“Claire is AMAZING! She loved on our pups so much and went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be booking with her again. She's great!”

About: *Focusing primarily on cat boarding and care at this time. I will take new dogs on a case by case basis, provided they are well behaved, UTD on all flea, tick, heartworm meds, and rabies vaccine. Cat boarding has become more of my priority. Cat parents, please look for my section on cat care! :) * Welcome to my home, and your cat or dog's new favorite place to stay, Eggbutt Ranch - 3 acres of pet paradise. (For cat boarding- please see cat care details!) Here on my little ranch, I have 3 acres on which I raise and care for my beloved horse, chickens, and goats. With so many different animals and sights to see on the ranch, your pet will have plenty to sniff and explore across the acreage, including the creek (and the wildlife that live along the creek!) that runs through my property. For your pet's safety as well as my animals, I do not let your pet directly interact with the ranch animals, and they are kept on leash, but they can certainly see and smell them as your pet accompanys me on my daily feeding and watering of the ranch animals, getting to see and smell so many new things! Being a remote/online master's student, I am home 24/7 to watch over and care for your beloved pets, and have great flexibility in my schedule. Your pet is never alone, except for maybe an hour if I have to dash out to the grocery store! They do not leave my sight, and enjoy multiple outings throughout the day, generally every 2 hours to go out and go potty, and take a mini walk around the property or play a game of fetch. With every boarded dog, I take them on a daily 45-60 minute walk around the nearby neighborhoods to get exercise and some sniffing enrichment to see and smell even more new things. This is typically conducted in the morning after breakfast, but is highly dependent on when there is a break in the rain. If it is raining, we just look for when there is a dry patch throughout the day and go for our walk then. If your dog cannot handle a 45 minute walk, I modify the walk so that it is shorter and can better accommodate that animal's fitness level and ability. If your dog is very high energy and walk doesn't quite meet their exercise needs, I can also jog/run with them to help get that energy out! Aside from a daily exercise and enrichment walk and mini-walks around the property every few hours, I also try to once daily have indoor or outdoor play sessions with toys. If your dog loves tug-o-war, we play that! If they love to fetch, we throw the ball! If they are not much toy motivated, and just like to snuggle up and get some good belly rubs, we do that too! I try to include play sessions during the day to keep them engaged, mentally and physically stimulated, and happy. Being an outdoors person myself, your dog will also get to join me outside as I continuously work on and improve my property! They get to join me outside and enjoy the fresh air while I keep an eye on them and work on fencing, woodworking projects, gardening, and more. With owner approval, I also take them with me on hikes on occasion at the nearby hiking trails and state and county parks. Your pet becomes a part of my life while they are here. They aren't left out of anything, so they're never bored! For all pets boarded with me, I only take on one family and their pets at a time, in order to keep your pet safe, and keep the number of animals to a manageable level. Rest assured, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only one getting all the love and attention! Strange dogs or kitties don't always mix well, so I make it a policy to only board one family's pet(s) at a time in order to keep everyone safe. I hold a similar policy for doggy daycare services, I only take on one family's pets per day. If your requested boarding days overlap with a day I am providing daycare services for another client, that is ok, I will just inform you that there are other dogs in the house that day, and keep them separated. I do this for everyone's safety, as strange animals don't always mix well, especially in what may be a new and unfamiliar environment for your pet. Again, when you board with me, your pet(s) are the only ones being boarded at that time due to my aforementioned policy. It may just be that they overlap with a daycare day, which I will let you know of. I make it a practice to send a text/message as well as a few photos of your pet(s) each day to update you as to how they are doing, and to give you peace of mind that they are safe and having fun! If you are boarding with me or using day-care services, I have three partially-fenced acres. Given that it is currently only partially fenced, I keep all animals on a leash/long leash when we go outside for their safety. I use a long leash (22-40 feet long) so that your pet can still explore and run around and have fun while we play fetch and explore around the acreage, but is still safe. Please reach out with any questions, I'd be happy to answer and help! Although this is my first time using Rover, rest assured I have petsat for 15+ years now, for a variety of animals, having begun pet sitting for a large variety for animals of all sizes, ages, and abilities, both domestic and farm, since age 10. Schedule: I'm currently a masters students, in a remote/online program, so I am home 24/7, minus when I run to get groceries. Thanks to my extraordinarily flexible schedule, I have the ability to switch around my own items or "to-do" items in order to meet your pets needs. Safety, trust, environment: I only board one client, or one family's pets at a time, and only take on one client/family's pet(s) per day. This is to not only ensure that your pet is getting my full attention and love, and the number of animals to a manageable number, but to keep them safe, as animals from different families don't always mix well. If your boarding day happens to overlap with a day that I am providing daycare services, I will inform you of this, though rest assured the animals will be kept separate until the daycare clients are picked up. I have baby/pet gates I can utilize for this purpose. I have on hand a small animal first aid kit that I have used in the past for my own animals when needed. This is at the ready in case your sweet pet needs a small cut or scrape disinfected. In the event of a true emergency, I keep on hand a list of nearby emergency vets. During the night when it is time to sleep, dogs are created for their safety. Since it's impossible to keep a close eye on a dog when I am sleeping, I crate them in order to keep them from getting into something they shouldn't, and to prevent any mishaps. All my pet beds and bowls are washed in between boarding stays in order to eliminate any chances of germs or illness being passed between pets. In my home, I am very hands-on with all my animals care. From medications, to grooming, to exercise, training, and daily care and nutrition, I do it all myself, and am happy to provide the same for your beloved pet as well. For any pet boarded with me, or that is in day-care, or that I am providing drop-in visits for, each day you will be sent a photo with a short update on how your beloved critter is doing, including any concerns should they arise. This is something I have always done for anyone I have pet or ranch sat for, as I believe it brings peace of mind for all involved. For cat boarding, I have an empty bedroom in my home that can be utilized as a boarded cat "condo" in which they can be peacefully, and safely isolated from my own pets (4 cats) if needed or preferred, and in order to keep stress levels down if you would like. I can supply scratchers and toys during your cats stay, as well as beds, water and food bowls. Boarding rules: -Please make sure you bring your pet's food, and enough for the duration of their stay! -Please let me know if the animal has any behavioral issues (dog aggression, anxiety, fear, inappropriate elimination, etc). I will not take on dogs that have any human aggression or that have a bite history. -Please let me know if the animal has any medical issues. I can take most of these cases on, I just need to know what to expect, so that I can properly care for the animal, or let you know if I am not the right fit. -Please provide a care sheet for each animal, ideally including their name, age, sex, weight, emergency contacts, veterinarian, any medical concerns, current food and amount they eat per day, their vaccination status, microchip status, as well as any relevant medical or life history. This care sheet will be used not only to provide the best care possible for your pet, but also in case of emergency, should your pet need a vet visit. -Animals must be up to date on their vaccinations and any flea/tick/heartworm medication.

“So grateful for Emma! She was super responsive and able to accommodate a last minute booking when my normal pet sitter fell through. She kept me up to date with how my dog was doing and anticipated my dog’s needs while I was traveling by asking if I needed her to come earlier or later than planned based on when my flight was scheduled. My house looks exactly as I left it. Thank you for your help with Miso, Emma!! Will definitely be working with her in the future.”

About: I have had pets of my own for over 30 years. I love all animals and think they all have different and special personalities. Currently, I have one dogs (Pembroke-Welsch Corgi) and one cat (a Maine Coon). I am available for weekday walks, evening care, and petsitting on weekends or longer if scheduled ahead of time. I can either come to your pet, take them to a park, or bring them to my home for socializing with my pets. Whatever you like! I have a fully-fenced yard and one friendly dog that can socialize with your pup(s) if interested. Otherwise, we can make accommodations for crating if that is requested.

“Thank you, Vita for a great second booking with you! Vita took great care of my bunnies while I was away for 2 days. She even sent me funny videos and photos!”

About: Of my 10 years of pet care experience, 8 of those years includes veterinary medicine. I love all different kinds of animals, and am good with all types of personalities, fear levels, and temperaments. I can also administer medications and care for pets with special needs. My other work is freelance, so my schedule is usually open and flexible. Overnight stays are easy for me to configure, and I'm able to prioritize your pets in my schedule. My main priority is the pets safety and happiness. I have experience de-escalating anxiety, redirecting aggression, and navigating tension between pets. I always double leash dogs for walks and I am experienced with all varieties of leash, walk, and play based behavior.

“Took great care of my pets when I was out of town!”

About: All my life, I’ve grown up around animals — cats, dogs, chickens, fish, and more — so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I also studied Animal Science for two years before switching career paths, and I’m currently a registered nurse which means I bring patience, responsibility, and attention to detail to everything I do. I currently live at home with my parents, my mini Aussie, and three cats, so animals are a big part of my daily life. My love and passion for animals has never changed, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I work part time at a coffee stand and currently seeking a new graduate nursing job. During this time of searching for a job, it gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. It’s easy for me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine, and I love having animals be a part of my day. I don’t offer care in my own home, but I’m very comfortable caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment, and I treat every home with respect and professionalism. My goal is to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away!

About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home and I absolutely love taking care and spending time with each of them. I have also done some volunteer work at Spokane Humane Society. I love spending time with animals of all kinds and my goal is to study zoology and work at an animal sanctuary. I am available anytime as of now. I can do mornings,afternoons, and evenings. I am pretty flexible with my schedule. We can come up with a plan that works for both of us! I have a fully fenced in back and front yard and friendly pups to keep your dog company. I am very flexible with my schedule to cater to your pet care needs.

“Maria was great for watching our cats! Will definitely book again”

“Emrys hadn't sat bunnies before but was willing to give my bunnies a chance, and did a wonderful job watching them and talking care of things at my house while I was gone.”

“Dylan was a life saver! We had to scramble for last minute plans and Dylan did a drop in for us while we were out of town. I got lots of pictures and can tell my two cats were loved on.”

About: I know how difficult it can be finding help when it's needed to make sure my dog gets enough exercise, attention, and love on the days where I am out of town or working long hours. I hope to offer that relief to you when your pet needs it. I was raised around dogs and started taking care of them independently in highschool, dogsitting throughout college, and now owning my own dog. I have dogsat reactive dogs, elderly dogs, and raised puppies. Above all, getting to understand the specific needs of each individual I help is what makes myself and your pet the most comfortable. I have more availability than listed on my Rover profile, especially on the weeeknds, so reach out! I currently work part-time, and I am available to help consistently on weekends and evenings, being able to help on the weekdays if my work allows it. Respect and communication are my priorities. Respect for your pet, schedule, property, and instructions are at the forefront of my mind to ensure that your pet is as safe as it can be in my care. I will always communicate any concerns, questions, and general updates about the visit - I never want to keep you in the dark about what your pet has been up to while you're away.
