House Sitting in Colton

About: I have 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician in emergency and critical care. If your pets have any special medical needs, I can be your go-to sitter. I am also a current veterinary student at WSU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, from furry friends to exotics. During the summer my schedule is wide open. I work part-time, but will have plenty of time provide all of the care your pets may need. My extensive experience as a veterinary technician allows me to properly care for any pets with medical needs. My trained eye allows me to recognize if your pet is in any kind of medical distress, allowing you to relax while away from your beloved pets. I am well-versed in animal behavior as well, which allows me adjust to pets with anxiety or shyness.

“Audrey did a wonderful job pet-sitting our 13 year old dog and tending our houseplants while we were away on vacation for a week. She was very responsive to our requests for updates and photos via text and also didn't hesitate to ask questions about anything she was unsure about. The house was in perfect shape when we got back. Would highly recommend her.”

“They were such a wonderful pet sitter for my senior dog! They we attentive to our worries, sent many photos while we were away, and was not afraid to ask questions if they had any. I would absolutely hire them again 😊”

“Ann always takes excellent care of our pets and our home. She is always our first choice when we are heading out of town because we know we’ll come home to happy healthy pets and a clean home, so we can enjoy our trips with no worries.”

About: I have been around animals since I was born, and wanted to be a veterinarian ever since I was three! I now attend WSU and am in my first year of veterinary school! I have worked with several different types of animals, ranging from mice and rats to horses. I currently have 3 of my own cats and two foster mice through a rescue in Pullman! I have a dog back at home in Tacoma too. If you need simple drop ins, pet sitting, or dog walks, I am here for you! I usually have classes from 1-5 PM, then work for a couple hours after that. I can usually stop by on weekends, late nights, or mornings/ early afternoons to take care of your pet! I will regularly check on the well-being of the animal. Not only will your pet be fed and taken out regularly, but any mess that we might make will be cleaned up better than we found it!

“Sydney was great with Ghost! Sent lots of pics and he was obviously well cared for. Would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. I have my own dog and am very adaptable when it comes to pet care. I’m an avid animal lover and am prepared to provide any kind of care that your pet needs. I’m currently looking for side jobs during the summer while I am in Pullman, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog-walking, and house-sitting. I’m experienced in training my own dog, so I am well-equipped to uphold boundaries and training for your pets. I’m prepared to respect any boundaries and rules you have for your dogs and/or cats. I’m also experienced with having a pup with some medical conditions that require medication and monitoring, so I’m prepared to handle pets that may have some medical needs.

“Milaella did a wonderful job watching my spoiled lab on short notic ,and it worked out perfect .. I will call again and hop I can give more notic next time ...”

About: Back home in New Mexico I would house-sit and pet-sit any times I wasn't working in the animal hospital. I am very comfortable with any breed, size, and age. I am especially happy to take care of pets who may need medications or who are anxious and might need a slower introduction and care. I am currently on summer break from vet school so I have all the time in the world to focus on your pets care! I am extremely flexible with my hours I'm available. One of my dogs is especially anxious around other dogs so I will not be offering care in my home. I am more than happy to stay with your pet in the comfort of their own home as long as they need! I will match wherever your pet is at comfortability wise. If they want all the snuggles, great! If they just want me to sit with/near them, great! Their happiness is my priority!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.

“Ashley was incredible! Kept our dog’s walking routines, gave her cuddles, sent pictures, kept in communication with us, and the house was spotless when we got home. Greatly appreciated her terrific care of our dog and house. Highly recommend Ashley and will definitely be calling on her in the future. Thank you Ashley!”

About: I love pets both big and small and have helped raise my family pets since I was a little girl! I love meeting new pets, I am timely and professional, and I have an eye for detail. I am comfortable with any special instructions. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule! Whatever your pet needs, I am excited to serve and accomodate. I have extensive house sitting and pet sitting experience and I am committed to creating both a fun and calm environment to make your pet feel comfortable and taken care of.

“We’ve had the pleasure to have Hannah look after our pack of dogs several times. The dogs love her and are always happy to see her. She stays at the house and is always conscientious and caring. In fact, she is caring for our 3 dogs this weekend too!”

About: I have house sat many people’s dogs, staying in their homes full-time or just a few daily visits for a week at a time. I will be in town for the next year. I am a recent WSU graduate who loves cats and dogs. I have lots of availability throughout the week at various hours of the day while I figure out my future in Pullman! I have fed dogs, walked them twice a day, played with them, and slept with them in client’s homes. I have stayed with dogs during holidays with fireworks and provided a safe environment for them to relax.

“Emma was great with our two cats. One of our cats is scared of everyone and Emma was able to get her to take treats from her. We will definitely book Emma again.”

About: Currently I’m a vet student at WSU! I’ve just wrapped up my first year of vet school. My ultimate goal is to go into large animal medicine. I have lived with cats my entire life and have worked with dogs throughout high school and into college. I am currently fitting in part time animal care into my daily routine. It is something I enjoy doing and is an activity I enjoy making time for. In a clients home I would be ready and willing to feed pets and let pets outside. I would also be willing to play with pets and take them on walks.

About: What sets me apart is my background working in a veterinary hospital, which gives me hands-on experience recognizing health concerns, administering medications, and caring for animals with different needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or medical attention. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always keep owners updated with messages and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital and caring for my own dogs, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health are second nature to me. I am very active and enjoy being outside, so I love incorporating walks, exercise, and quality time with pets into my day. I make sure every animal in my care gets plenty of attention, structure, and consistency. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. With my experience working in a veterinary hospital, I am very comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets stay healthy and happy. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and feel secure whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home.

About: I've had animals all my life. I'm here to relieve the stress of juggling your job, travel and the love for your companion!🐯🦁 I also have farm animal experience. I am semi empty nester looking for a little more on my "to do" list. I work but can make my own schedule for drop ins or house sitting I'm older then most Rover sitters. Established home and life in Pullman but able to travel and stay in nearby towns. Taking care of your pet is top priority in my home or yours. I'd care for yours as I care for mine. With your terms in mind.

“Pia was excellent with our animals. She is a great sitter! Took care of all the critters (Scottish terrier, Beagle cross, Newfoundland and our Manx kitty.). She cleaned up after them and kept the house clean! She even did some outside chores! She also kept in touch with us which was wonderful!!”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I knew animals were my passion. I am currently a Vet/Doctors Assistant at an animal hospital and have a huge passion for all animals, big and small. I have experience with reactive dogs as I currently own one as well as other behavioral issues I might come across. I spent a long time working at the Oregon Humane Society, working with dogs with behavioral challenge and I understand how they truly feel and will make sure your baby feels safe! As a vet technician for four years, I worked at VCA Animal hospitals and gained lots of experience and in veterinary medicine that helps equip me to care for your fur babies! I am currently in school at WSU and can do overnight dog sitting in your home or mine :) keep in mind I do have one kitten that lives with me ! I am a full-time student on the path to vet school so I have open availability! I am happy to watch your pets during the weekday/weekends. I will make sure your animal feels safe in their house with me in it and will take the time to ensure everyone is comfortable. I know that every animal is different so not every approach will work! I always make sure we take the right steps so everyone is happy.
