Dog Walkers in Elk Plain, WA

About: Hi I'm Alexis and I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family off and on for the last six years. That means I’ve spent over half a decade figuring out exactly who really runs the house (spoiler: it’s usually the cat). I have spent that time mastering the art of the perfect walk and the "do-not-disturb-me" nap. Neighbors and family have always relied on me because they know I don't just "check in," I actually show up and spend quality time with their pets. My real-world training comes from my own crew. Back home in Washington, I have Me-low, a sweet Golden Retriever I personally trained, and LuLu, a spunky Maltipoo. While I’m at college in Arizona, I share a home with our adopted gray tabby, Bambi. Having a mixed household of my own means I am a pro at balancing high dog energy with clear cat boundaries. What 6 Years of Experience Looks Like: Safety & Security: Whether it is a "Smooth Operator" cat or a dog that is "Born to Run," safety is my #1 priority. I have handled walks in busy areas and know how to keep pets calm around distractions. I am comfortable with all sizes, including 90lb breeds that think they are lap dogs. Cat Confidence: Thanks to Bambi, I am "fluent in cat." I know when they want to play with a feather toy and when they just want to be left alone to judge me from a distance. I respect their space while making sure they are happy and cared for. Specialized Care: I am comfortable following strict feeding schedules and administering oral medications. Whether it is a puppy in training like Me-low was or a senior pet who needs extra patience, I make sure they stay healthy and never skip a beat. Open Communication: I am big on keeping you in the loop. You will get regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see exactly how much fun your babies are having. I know the stress of being away, and I want you to feel at ease from wherever you are. My Promise to You I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies behind. To me, your pet isn't just a "booking"; they are the star of the show. Whether it’s high-energy walks or quiet "golden hour" naps, I promise that for every tail wag they give and every purr they make... I’ll be watching them. I am currently home from college and my schedule is wide open till mid-July. I am available Monday through Sunday for full-time care, walks, and check-ins. Because I am not juggling classes right now, your pets are my main priority. Please note: I will be heading back to Arizona for the upcoming semester between August 13th-22nd, so I am looking for bookings that take place before that move. Until then, I have total flexibility to stick to your specific routine and provide plenty of companionship for your "babies." I provide care exclusively in the client's home, as I do not offer boarding in my own home at this time. This allows your pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment while you are away. When I am in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I prioritize a "safety-first" environment by doing a quick sweep for anything your pet shouldn't get into and making sure all doors and gates are secure. I am very diligent about leashes and harnesses during walks to prevent any accidents. I believe trust is built through communication. You can expect regular photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and following their normal rhythm. Whether it is keeping a cat's litter area pristine or ensuring a dog gets their exact training commands, I am dedicated to maintaining your home exactly how you like it. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to ask!

“Even though Simone comes everyday, she always takes A LOT of photos which I greatly appreciate because I get to enjoy knowing my pup’s in good hands and he looks happy on his daily adventures. It’s so fun looking at his daily album of adventures while I’m away. I know Simone treats my pup just like her own and always shares his wins, I can’t highly recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet lover who worked at a pet store for a year and has spent years dog sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I currently pet sit full time. I plan my days around each pet’s schedule, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring they get consistent attention and care. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. For house sitting, I keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get exercise or bathroom breaks, and feel cared for while you’re away. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks that match your dog’s energy level. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making pets feel relaxed and happy.

“We are so happy we found Evelyn! She was always on time and communicative, and gave Denver lots of TLC while we are at work. We loved getting cute photos and updates. So grateful having her to take care of our furbaby!”

About: I’ve grown up having dogs around me at all times. I currently have 3 of my own fur babies, and while they’re definitely a handful (or pawful), I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing, walking, and just spending time with pets and I can’t wait to be able to treat your animals like my own! During my services, I always make sure to include at least three pictures of your pets when I stop by, I know how long a day can feel without seeing your animals. My main goal is to make sure you and your pet(s) are satisfied with the services I provide because I know just how important our furry friends are to all of us and our families! I also have experience with bird, rodent, small reptile and amphibian care! I’m happy to watch any and all types of our animal family members while you’re away ! I have been in love working with animals since my first Girl Scout visit to an animal shelter in 3rd grade. I currently have five rescues of my own (two dogs, two cats, and a beardie) and I would to meet and help provide care for your fur babies as well! I make sure to provide the same quality of care to your pet as you would. They are our extra, furry family members and deserve to be treated as such, especially when they are excited and waiting to see their people!

About: Available for last minute/odd schedule requests. Everything sets me apart from others because I've learned over all my yrs experience that when trust is shown trust is given. Then everything else falls into place. ***Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.*** Animals are my escape I enjoy all of them! Life would be boring without them. They bring so much happiness to me!!!l Life is just better with them in it to enjoy with us. Remember ***(Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.)*** Fur babies run the roost! I usually take them out every half hour just for exercise or fun as well as potty breaks (which is a good way to break bad marking habits for ones training). If it's a nice day usually we are outside all day playing and walking teaching the ones who are still in need of guided assistance. Which actually makes things way easier on me. Unless of course it's just to hot to be out side. Rainy days are our lazy days or indoor activity days. Lots of cuddles and loves. My personal fur babies are not kenneled but I do have kennels for ones who prefer it. It's whatever makes them happiest. Or feel the safest. I'm a pretty good judge of character when it comes to fur babies. We read one another very well. Which in turn makes us more comfy with one another. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with one ever.i know when to back off or come in for loves. Mutal respect is the best policy I feel.
