“Megan arrived on time, gave vaulable feedback about our dog's day, and was very communicative. We will book with her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover, self-appointed professional cat whisperer, and firm believer that every pet deserves VIP treatment while you’re away! I volunteer at SCRAPS Animal Shelter, so I’m used to everything from cuddle bugs to “don’t look at me” gremlins. At home, I’m proudly managed by my 13-year-old cat, Mr. Meowgi, who runs the household with an iron paw. Whether your pet wants playtime, snuggles and snacks, or just someone to admire them from a far, I’ve got it covered! Don’t worry, your plant babies will get some love too! 🌱 I have a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available all throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, playtime, snuggles, and keeping your pet’s normal routine on track. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own while respecting their home, routine, and boundaries. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, litter boxes, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you know your fur baby is in good hands!

“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.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have always had a natural connection with animals. I’m empathetic, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from energetic huskies that require plenty of exercise to small dogs and more sensitive animals. I’ve cared for multiple dogs and cats at once, including senior pets requiring medication on a strict schedule, and I’m comfortable with walks, overnight stays, and providing loving, reliable care.

“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 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.

“Lauren has walked my dog for 2 recurring periods now, and she has been amazing. My dog loves going on walks with her and she takes such good care of him and is super responsive and sends plenty of updates from the walk.”

“Dani is sooo wonderful with my dog. She has separation anxiety and Dani just talks her right thru it. She pays close attention to my dog’s needs and responds accordingly. She’s a treasure!”

About: Hi there! My name is Mari and I love all kinds of pets. Started volunteering at animal shelters since the age of 15 before my parents allowed me to have a dog of my own. I have done everything from walks, feedings, cleanings, and oral medication administration. Mostly worked caring for cats and dogs but have cared for some birds and even a friend's chinchilla once before. Friends, family, and coworkers have relied on me for pet care when trips come up. I have seven cats under my care at the moment. Two I adopted, three the cat distribution system gave me, and two I foster. Love pets so much that I do oil painting pet portraits for a living. 😅 I am an online student with a very flexible schedule that allows for a variety of services ranging from the short 30-60 min drop-in care to the longer walks and house sitting needs. Always happy to arrange a meet and greet! Typically, I am available every day from 8am to 7pm for meet and greets. I know work schedules can get in the way so if you need a specific time that does not fall into that range, let me know and we can go from there. In-person meet and greets can be scheduled at client homes or a neutral location. I will ensure that your pets are well cared for by providing everything they could possibly need. Food, fresh water, and a pal to play with. From my volunteer experience I am really great with administering oral medication if needed. Daily photo updates! Owners can request more photos and I'll gladly comply.

About: I grew up with a dog in my house who had various behavior issues, including aversion to strangers. I can read a dogs body language well and know how to interact, especially when there is risk of growling or nipping. I currently work as a paraeducator substitute so my schedule is very flexible and can take me anywhere in Spokane. I would love to fill the days that I don’t have assignments at a school with caring for a pet! I won’t leave an animal unsupervised outside unless explicitly given permission. I love animals so I will give them lots of affection and time to play when I care for them

About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want to make that easier. I’m a caring and responsible pet owner myself, and I’ve also helped care for friends’ pets while they’ve been away on trips. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll make sure your pets get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break, so I have full availability and flexible scheduling for pet sitting. Once I return to school, my availability will adjust, but I’m still able to plan around pet care and communicate my schedule clearly in advance. In my own home, I prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment for pets. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a large fenced backyard where dogs can play and get exercise. I make sure pets are always supervised, have fresh water, and feel comfortable in their space. I also respect each pet’s routine and needs, and I aim to keep their environment as stress free as possible whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home.

“Sia has been an absolute blessing! Bentley and Cali love her and do a happy dance upon her arrival. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and always updated us with pictures when we were out of town which is always comforting. I don’t know what we would do without her!

About: I have spent time around animals my whole life, I assisted with training service dogs for a couple years, so I have lots of experience training and walking and love spending time with animals! I work full time overnight, so I have a lot of free time during the day and can meet most schedules you will have! I am willing to do overnights on my weekends! I am mainly here for dog walking but am willing to house sit if you need and my schedule allows it! So I will tend to your dog/cat however you need!

About: Grew up with big dogs and 5 cats! Been the petsitter for my family and friends for years. I've looked after a litter of newborn mini Aussie puppies and have kept up dog training & routines while my sisters were traveling. From very energetic dogs to high-needs senior dogs--I've taken care of them all! I have no allergies, and mess doesn't bother me one bit. I normally teach English Composition at the local university, but I've got nothing to teach this summer! I'm writing a novel and would LOVE a reason to step away from the keyboard--dog walking, house sitting, playing. I'm very flexible. I am a very polite guest and follow written instructions to the letter. If I am housesitting, my goal is to always leave homes as I found them. Dishes done, trash taken out, floors swept, and plants watered!

About: I am hard working, and loyal! I will provide your pet with love, care and support! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! -Autumn I’m currently working a part-time job, so I can visit your furry friend any days except Tuesdays and Fridays! I can visit on weekends and holidays as well! When i visit your pet, i will make sure they have food and water, i will take them outside to play, and give them lots of affection of course!

About: I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I were fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I wanted to spend my time doing something productive that I love and caring for dogs is the perfect fit! I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 5 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention (with the exception of over holidays when I will book up to 10 dogs) I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for them. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed. Dog sitting is my full time profession. I do not work outside the home and I'm available to board dogs 7 days a week 24 hours a day! My yard is fully fenced and dog proof. I have a friendly Chihuahua mix named Rudy who loves to hang out and play with other dogs.

“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!”

About: I have owned several dogs in my life. I have helped trained multiple dogs for special need accommodations. I often take care of friends dogs and horses when needed, and have experience handling anything from small dogs to large farm animals. I would love to take dogs on walks and am skilled in training dogs if that something you are looking for. I take boarding where I have a big fenced yard. I do have a cat, but she has room to roam downstairs and to be outside so the dog and cat would never have to interact. Because I work a professional Monday-through-Thursday schedule, my weekends are completely cleared and dedicated to pet care. I am entirely off from Friday through Sunday, meaning my schedule revolves 100% around making sure your pup has a fantastic weekend getaway of their own while you are away! Safety and peace of mind are the absolute foundation of my boarding service. Because I only host one guest dog at a time, your pup receives my full, undivided attention in a highly controlled, secure, and loving environment.

About: I've owned dogs for as long as I can remember, and nothing brings me more joy than spending time helping dogs and nurturing relationships with them. My goal is to communicate clear boundaries in a firm, gentle way to help build trust and ease anxiety. I believe activities, such as dog walking or training, help develop these relationships by relieving dogs of anxiety, stress, energy, and more. It is very rewarding to see the positive impact these strategies can have on dogs to increase their quality of life. Currently, I have two Cockapoos under the age of 3. My boy, Archie is about 1.5 years old and loves to play ball. He is very confident and full of personality! My girl, Stella is about 2.5 years old, and she is extremely introverted and insecure. She has taught me a great deal about staying calm and confident in all situations to prevent her anxiety from rising. Thanks to her, I am learning a great deal about fear free training and cooperative care to help manage some of her insecurities. Building confidence is key! It’s safe to say that my dogs have polar opposite personalities, which helps me learn how to adjust my training according to their needs. Every dog is different, so I think it is important to learn the right communication style for each dog to make sure they are happy and secure. Before I had my current fur babies, I had another cockapoo that required extensive care towards the end of her life. I administered daily medications and monthly injections to keep her as comfortable as possible. If you have any senior pups who need extra care or attention, I have plenty of experience caring for senior dogs, as well as puppies. I look forward to meeting you and offering a helping hand to you and your pup! I mostly work from home, which gives me lots of time to play with your pups! I am available most week days and weekends. As long as I have enough notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to meet your needs. My house has a large, fenced backyard with a doggy door for medium dogs. I do allow dogs on furniture after setting some boundaries and limitations. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
