Dog Walking Comstock

About: I’ve always had dogs and have such a soft spot for rescues. I own 2 dogs myself who I spend a lot of time exploring, walking, playing, and training with. I am currently attending grad school 2 days a week and working part time in the evenings. With my own dogs, I typically go on a long morning walk in nature and shorter evening walks in our neighborhood. I’m very flexible! I live in a spacious home with a large yard. The dogs are always supervised and when not, they are separated and/or crated. I always monitor dog body language to ensure only safe and appropriate interactions occur.

“Jacob has taken care of our standard poodle twice and has done a great job. He is very prompt and takes Archie on long walks, which he enjoys a lot. He is very communicative and sends us pictures.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, for as long as I can remember. I have trained my pets as well as other's in basic obedience. I like to study dog psychology and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from tiny-huge and fearful-calm temperaments. My favorite breeds to care for are large breeds, most specifically breeds like pitties, mastiffs, and dobermans, but I love all dog breeds too and love how every dog has their own unique personality. I've also cared for cats doing volunteer work and have 2 of my own. I'm currently available anytime of the week all year besides the few times per year that I travel. I am working to potentially have a career with dogs. For care in the client's home, I will do whatever is instructed to me to be done for the pet. I am good at reading dog body language and understanding their needs. I've cared for fearful/avoidant dogs and hyper/clingy dogs alike. I am not able to provide care in my own home since I live with family and own 2 rescue cats.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who understands that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure or prefers a slower, quieter approach, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve loved dogs my entire life, growing up in a family with dogs and spending about a year volunteering at my local humane society walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Today, I also share my home with two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different needs and behaviors. Building trust is one of the most important parts of pet care. I know that not every animal is immediately comfortable with someone new, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I never force interactions or push boundaries. Instead, I focus on creating positive experiences so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times and stay alert to our surroundings to help ensure every outing is safe and enjoyable. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I’d want for my own animals. Whether you need a midday walk, a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, medication reminders (if applicable), or just someone to spend quality time with your pet while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time from home, but my job allows for a lot of flexibility during the day, evenings and weekends. My only immovable commitment right now is coaching softball Monday and Wednesday evenings over the summer, and the occasional work meeting that I will plan around ☺️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always come first. I strive to create a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and respected. I believe trust is earned through patience, consistency, and kindness, so I always let animals set the pace and never force interactions. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time together during a visit, you can count on me to provide attentive, safety-focused care while treating your pet like one of my own.

About: I am a retired elementary school teacher and I have owned multiple pets for the past 30 years including dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I have also done paid pet sitting and housesitting during my college years. I have a great love for all animals and am experienced in caring for puppies, elderly dogs and every age in between. I would love to take care of your furry friend! I will treat your dog as I would my own. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe and caring environment for your dog and give you peace of mind while you are away. I currently work very part time at home on a flexible schedule so I would have plenty of time to either drop in on or walk your dog(s). I would be very diligent about following your directions when I care for your dog(s) in your home. I would take your dog(s) for walks, play their favorite games and give them an abundance of pets and love.

“Audrey did great with our reactive dogs. She was incredibly communicative when we met her and asked us many questions. She did everything we asked and I have complete trust in her with our dogs.”

“Joseph was wonderful! We gave him our rundown of our routine with Archie and he was very receptive and understanding. Joseph is knowledgable and great with our dog. We definitely recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a reliable companion for their pet needs!”

“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”

“Pearl was so helpful with a last minute walk for our big dogs. She tired them out!”

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. My mom was a dog trainer and also fostered both dogs so I grew up knowing how to properly care for animals. I have one dog and two cats of my own now. I am a retired mental health professional, which means I have time on my hands to be your full-time pet caregiver. My schedule is flexible most of the time and I am available to be with your pet throughout the day and evening as needed. I am very conscientious and will make sure that I follow all of your instructions and leave your home as you left it. I am able to walk your dog(s) and give all of your animals the love that they deserve.

“Karli has been great! She has been very flexible with scheduling and my dog Stella just loves her. I have a large breed senior dog and she is very understanding and takes special care on walks. I will also be using her to house sit for my dog in the future as well!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and provide overnight care of their pets for years. Now that I’ve moved to Spokane I have lots of free time to offer to new furry friends. Currently taking a break from working in schools this year to focus more time on my family. Outside of school pickups and sports we have a very open schedule. All animals deserve mental and physical stimulation. From walks, to playing with their favorite toys, to snuggling on the floor/couch your pet will be well loved in my care.

“Brittany walked our two energetic and reactive dogs for one hour walks over a two week period. We were out of town and my parents had easy communication with her. My dogs got their exercise and were happy and content pups! I would recommend Brittany and book through her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.

“Lifesaver! I’m so glad I found Vanessa, I would absolutely recommend to take care of your fur baby. Vanessa has taken care of my little man multiple times and helped me out last minute which I’m super appreciative for.”

About: I’m patient, caring, dependable, reliable and take my dog out on walks every day. I work from home so I will be with your beloved pet at all times. I work from home and have one dog who I walk daily. Most of my time is spent with my dog and if your dog stays with us, they will be with us all day. I do live in an apartment, however, I am active and attentive so I can provide a lot of activity outdoors or spend time with your dog indoors if that’s what they prefer.

“Aliyah was super sweet! She did a long walk with my pup and was great with communication every step of the way. I received lots of pictures of Lucy having a great time. I will definitely reach out for another dog walk in the future!”
