About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. My family has always been a multi-pet household, and I began watching family friends’ pets at their homes at 13 years old. I currently am a part-time student at Bluestone Academy, so I can make almost anytime work. I most definitely have time to check in on your fur babies! I use positive reinforcement training and have a good gauge of when a dog is worn out or needs to get more energy out before going back inside. I’m experienced in reading dog body language, as well.

About: I’m been around animals large and small almost my entire life, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, and turtles! I’m comfortable with special needs animals that may need medicine or rescue animals that may be nervous and need a slow gentle approach. All are welcome. I am currently an online graduate student taking a much needed break from school this summer until I start up again this fall. This means I will have adequate time to take care of your pets in order to provide them the utmost attention and tend to any other needs they may have! Additionally, I have have a reliable vehicle so driving is perfectly okay with me. When caring for your pets, I would of course make sure they trust me, as I would be a stranger to them. If I was just dropping by I would make sure they had food or water and hadn’t gotten into anything, and of course give them lots of pets! Kindness over everything.

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, from lively puppies to senior companions. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, refreshing water, and keeping spaces clean, as well as more specialized care like administering oral medications, monitoring eating habits, and watching for signs of stress. For cats, I handle everything from deep-cleaning litter boxes to engaging playtime or peaceful lap snuggles. For dogs, I keep them active with walks, backyard play, or a comfy spot for relaxation. What Sets Me Apart * Work remotely, so I’m available throughout the day * Live two blocks from Kiwanis Park for quick walks and playtime * Close to the John Wayne Trail for longer, scenic walks * Fully fenced backyard with dog door for safe, supervised outdoor access * Calm, quiet home environment — perfect for pets who prefer peace and stability * Flexible schedule for both planned and last-minute needs I'd like to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels truly cared for until you’re home again. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s a playful pup who loves exploring or a cat who enjoys a sunny window and gentle pets, I treat every animal like a valued member of the family. I believe in meeting pets where they are — adjusting to their personality, energy level, and comfort zone. From energetic play sessions to quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced backyard with a secure gate and a dog door, so they can enjoy fresh air and play while staying safe. I keep the environment calm and quiet, which is ideal for pets who prefer a peaceful space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and water are fresh, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. Whether it’s walks near Kiwanis Park or longer adventures on the John Wayne Trail, I always use a secure leash and harness, keeping a close eye on your pet’s comfort and safety. My goal is for every animal in my care to feel secure, loved, and well looked after until you’re back with them.

I always manage to befriend all kinds of animals and look forward to meeting your furry friends :) I’m currently working part-time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I also grew up around many different animals, and love being around them in general. I’m very gentle and patient with animals. I know many cues and how to read animal body language. I’m quick to react in stressful situations. I also know how to spot things that may be off in their health and know how to quickly check for injuries.

While caring for your pets on walks or in your home I give my full attention to ensure the safety of your beloved pets during that time.

About: Animal behavior is complex. It has fascinated me from a young age, where I got my start in animal care. From barrel racing horses and showing Irish Wolfhounds, I've been doing it all since I was very small! I worked in multiple show and boarding kennels, vet clinics and pet stores throughout high school and college. I worked as a team lead and assistant trainer at Waggin' Tails ranch for about 5 years, before moving on to work in shelters providing behavioral services. I have a B.S in psychology alongside being a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant. I aim to help you with the skills you want your furry friend to learn, while you are away! We will work on skills and behaviors, and then have a session with you when you get back so you know what we worked on while you were gone! I have a flexible job, so I can do drop ins, walks, etc. Whatever may be needed. I do prioritize sitting animals who may be behaviorally challenged. If I am unable to accommodate you, I have a network of people I can refer you to! Safety is my top priority. All training happens on leash or in a contained space. I am animal first aid and CPR certified. My focus is always on building relationships and rapport with my clients and furry friends.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. I have known how to Handel cats the best because we had 3 growing up. I can deal with them being sick as well depending on what they need. I’m currently a full time student but I have a lot of free time. Please feel free to contact me to see if I am available for what you need. I can take pets on walks and clip their nails. I can help brush them or make sure their areas are clean. I can also make sure they are fed and give them attention when I am there at any time they need.

About: I have owned and cared for animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life, from lizards, fish, and rodents to livestock. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR.

I have worked at a pet care facility for over a year as well as assisting with pet care on the side for the last 7+ years, as such, I am trained in body language recognition, safe and defensive handling, and dog play groups management. Pet care is my life! Currently, I work just under full time at a pet care facility as well as having two cats and a dog of my own at home. In my own home, I ensure pets stay safe by utilizing pet gates and fences when and where necessary, on walks I like to maintain two points of connection with the animal at all times (generally with two leashes or a leash that connects to the animal in two locations), and I'm always vigilant about any wear and tear on all collars/leashes/safety equipment/fences/crates.

About: I have several families who regularly ask me to care for their beloved animals while they’re away. They appreciate it because I love animals, and it gives a peace of mind to know that they are well cared for. I’m currently a student at CWU and I am missing my own animals at home! I love all animals and love spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks or lounging giving lots of attention. I am willing to work with you on a system or schedule that will benefit you and your pet depending on what they need, whether it’s crating at night, or an evening walk to burn some energy.
