Dog Sitting Ellensburg

About: I have had dogs since I was a toddler, and a cat for the last 5 years. I helped care for a sphynx cat for a year, aided in starting and running a guinea pig rescue, and recently have started helping give snakes at the university enrichment. I am working towards my bachelors of science in geology and working as a caregiver/med tech locally, but am looking for a bit extra income to help with school costs. I am hoping to work with animals around 15 hours a week. I will care for any animals according to the given care plan, as well as with every degree of love and dedication I would give my own animals.

About: I absolutely love animals and would prefer their company over humans any day well except for my children. Hmm okay okay you got me there on some days would I definitely prefer their company to my kids lol, but they are the second-best if not tied for first for the company one can keep. I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life. I don't remember a time when we or I didn't own at least one animal. To me life doesn't exists without a fur baby of some kind. Most of the time knowledge comes from first hand experience and that I have plenty of, matter of a fact I would dare to say at least 25 years of experience of being around and caring for animals. From house pets to farm animals and your occasional lost and or injured wild animal. I am comfortable with all care that is required or might be required in a pets daily care. If it's not something I am familiar with or if there is something that is required that I have not had experience with, I am a great listener and quick and eager to learn something new there is never to much knowledge one can obtain. How does pet care fit into my daily and weekly routine? Well for me my pet's have always and will always be treated as family. They are a family member if you know you know. So they are just another kid i am taking care of, raising and loving on a daily basis. Only they don't have thumbs so they won't be learning to clean up their own mess in time, however you can forget what color of bowl to give them and they will not be throwing a fit for 30 minutes even if your correct your mistake :) and they have a love that last and is unconditional until their last breath. When you make the commitment to get a pet their care doesn't fit into your daily routine it becomes part of your daily routine that's all there is to it. So i don't know how to explain to you how my pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because it is simply part of it. I will care for the pets in your home just as I would in my home and or as you the client does in your home on a daily basis or however you desired. Nothing would differ from the way their regular day to day goes, besides maybe some extra loving, treats and play time. But the whole goal and job is to keep them in their home a place they are safe and familiar with while you their owner is away. To keep them stress free and ultimately for it to go unnoticed that you are even away. So unless stated otherwise beforehand by yourself I would plan my day's accordingly to how you live and cares for their pets.

About: I have cared for many different dogs growing up. I have cared for younger and older dogs, even in the same home. I have experience with dogs that have needs for their allergies or physical limits such as limiting running and jumping for dogs who have recently had surgery. I am currently a student at university, so my schedule is pretty flexible on the weekends, but I still have some availability during the week. I love being able to play and keep your pet company whether that means playing with them with toys, letting them run around outside (if you have a backyard), or just petting and cuddling with them. I have no issues with crating them or keeping them in a certain space in your home such as keeping them in a certain room, off the couches etc.

About: I have house sat since I could drive. I adore dogs, and all animals for that matter. I have trained both my dogs and miss them dearly since being at college. If you’d like someone to baby your dog, i’m your gal!! I currently don’t work and I can spend almost all day at your house with your baby. I have school from 8am- 11am weekdays but am free after that! I also am big on walking and recently got into running. I don’t have a place to keep a dog at my house but I am always down to stay and take care of any size dog at your house. I also am an avid walker

About: As for most of us, we’ve had animals grow up with us. They were there when it was our first steps as babies or at our prom night. These things aren’t what makes a pet, but what makes them family. The love and respect to these furry babies is something that will forever be in our hearts I work morning to afternoon, throughout the evening or early morning and over nights I am available to give love and care to your pets I believe respect and communication are an essential care for your pet. Reliable and very open minded and willing to help out in any way I can

About: Hello! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. For every dog sitting and walking adventure I offer, your pup is treated just like one of my own! Living in the beautiful Cascade mountains there are many fun walking and hiking opportunities I can offer. Being an active outdoor enthusiast I can take on the most ambitious of fur friends! I am able to visit your permanent or vacation home and administer any special food/medication needs multiple times a days if necessary. If there is specific training you are working on I am more than able to stay consistent with their needs. I have shown in obedience, agility and showmanship and have attended numerous obedience classes. I am a firm believer of positive reinforcement/encouragement types of training. Whatever level of experience your dog is at, I can accommodate. Willingness to clean up any messes/accidents your pup may have. (Cleaning supplies not included) I have bred and raised puppies, so any puppies are more than welcome. I personally have two dogs at the moment, a 3 year old Pitbull and a very exuberant 5 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix. My past pups were Yorkshire Terriers, a German Shephard, Pit Bull and a Dalmatian. The range of dog attitudes I've handled makes me the perfect fit for any of your fur babies! I recently have become a cat mom as well. Two years with our current indoor cat and lots of experience feeding out outdoor barn cats/kittens. If you happen to live on a farm, I also have tons of experience with raising goats and chickens as I have my own. I look forward to your meeting you and your animals companions!

About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) My 1 year old will be accompanying me to any potential jobs, so if you know your pet is not good with kids please let me know. She will have as little access as possible either way, she will most likely be in her stroller. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. I would love to help in any way that I can. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.

“Great at communicating. Dogs looked like they had fun!”

About: Hi! I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and have one cat of my own. I am experienced in pet sitting for several families with multiple dogs and cats over the years. I have also cared for cats with special needs, a dog with diabetes requiring daily insulin injections, and wound care for pets. I am willing to do other household tasks upon request such as watering plants/gardens, light housework, etc. I have a flexible hybrid full time work schedule that allows me to work from home as needed. This lets me drop in as needed to care for your pets. I am also available for overnight stays if needed. I have cared for pets in many different home environments. I can take pets on long walks as needed or let them exercise in your yard if permitted. Care will be specialized to your pets needs.

Safety is always my #1 priority. I have experience with high-energy pets, separation anxiety, special needs, and different temperaments. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. Pets are family, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own. ❤️ No breed or size restrictions! I have a flexible schedule.

About: I offer extensive, lifelong experience in animal care, developed while growing up on a working farm. This background instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and a strong foundation in proper animal care. My hands-on experience spans a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I’m a college student but on break for the summer so I have a lot of time to work. Animals have been apart of my everyday routine for years so, I’m used to the responsibility pets take. Pets just like anyone else need a safe environment. Since I grew up in a pet friendly house I’ve been more aware of the hazards that can occur.

About: Pet Experience Summary With over 10 years of experience working with dogs from various backgrounds, I bring extensive knowledge and genuine passion to pet care. My background includes fostering rescue dogs, volunteering at a local rescue animal clinic, and dog training experience that helps me understand canine behavior and communication. I've completed animal first aid certification and have extensive experience caring for medically needy animals, giving me the skills to handle pets with special requirements or health conditions. When you trust me with your beloved pet, you can be confident they'll receive safe, attentive care and be treated with the same love I'd give my own animals. Im currently working a very flexible job that lets me choose my schedule. I work remotely and I have home cameras to watch if Im gone. I also have a roommate who helps me with animal care of needed if I was away. Animals are never left alone and will always have a human around to ensure proper care and your pet is well taken cared for. I have a 6ft fenced yard. Main fences have extra anti escape proof fencing that wont allow a dog to jump over fence. Cameras around the home up front, side and back yard that are recoding 24/7. Trusting neighbors that watch over the neighborhood. Cameras inside and outside of home.

About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I have always been a huge animal lover. Growing up we always had many pets, and I would often spend my weekends and holidays sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and life stages, and especially with blind and deaf dogs. I have a 6 year old Golden of my own who adores other dogs and cats, and tennis balls of course. I work from home and recognize that others may not have this option, so I wanted to open up my home to provide a caring space for other pet owners when needed. I have a fenced in back yard but take my girl out often throughout the day to one of the many parks that are very closeby. Working remotely means I am also flexible in my hours and am able to offer walks and drop ins as needed, always giving each pet as much attention as I can. I treat every animal as I would my own and understand how difficult it can be to be away from them. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend soon! Weekends work best, but can entertain on weekdays. Can have up to two more pets to continue the same exercise/play schedule I have for my own pet. I have a laid back dog. I will be around in the mornings and evenings to feed, play and clean up after. With permission, I would love to take your fur baby on walks, hikes, or to the dog park to get some energy out and for mental stimulation.

“Melissa came to let out our 10 week old puppy and did an amazing job. She gave updates after each visit and sent a picture of the dog. She came on time and was very dependable. We will certainly use Melissa again to watch out dog when we can not be home to let her out to use the bathroom.”
