Dog Walking in Ellensburg

“Charles has been walking my dog Maple for about two weeks and he is great with her. She's a pretty shy dog but he is patient and kind with her. He sends me updates each day. Highly recommended!”

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’m currently working part-time and am a part-time student at Bluestone Academy. I have good chunks of hours between each, 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.

“Everything was perfect and Ellie is starting to know Mikaela!! So far everything has been like clock work Mikaela doing a great job”

I am a supervisor at Starbucks and a bachelor graduate from CWU, I consider myself to have good character and care for animals I am curently on medical leave right now, which leaves me with a lot of time on my hands, but I have my own dog who I watch but other than that I’m free to watch others or walk I am good at consulting the owners of the pets I watch and doing whatever I need to do to make sure the needs of the animal are met whether that’s food schedule, walk schedule, affection, etc.

“thanks again Landon, Sophie just loved her walk !!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of family pets for a long time and want to expand on my experience with dogs and daily maintenance and activities! I am cwu graduate student and currently on summer break, so I have an open availability to give all the attention and care to your animals! I do not have a home fit for a pet currently but am able to house sit/dog sit at other houses while being respectful and with boundaries.

About: I was raised in a household full of a range of animals, and in my free time volunteer at the Animal Shelter walking the dogs. I am currently at student at CWU with morning classes. My afternoons are free, and I work at HopeSource at the Cold Weather Shelter 6pm-10pm I care for pets by giving them my full attention and love. Animals are like people with feelings and thoughts, and I think my duty is to make sure they are completely cared for in every aspect.

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 15+ years of experience administering medications of all kinds. 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’ve handled and helped train all sorts of dogs after working at a dog Daycare/Boarding facility for almost a year. I know how to administer medications and help anxious pets. Additionally, I grew up on a farm, raising and helping take care of many different animals (cats, dogs, goats, horses.) 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.

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: 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 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.

About: I have been around dogs since the day I was born. I volunteered at an animal shelter for a couple months, so I have experience in dealing with a wide range of different personalities, from scared and timid to overly friendly and energetic. As a dog mom myself, I am passionate about giving every dog the love, care and attention they need / deserve. I am only working part-time at the moment, so my schedule is very open to be there for you and your pet! I am excited to work with you! My dog is a runner so I am a very attentive dog walker. I make sure at all times I am monitoring behavior and have a firm grip on the leash.

About: I've had dogs all my life. I am Good with all breeds but love big dogs.(grew up with mastiffs and great danes) Also have experience with stubborn breeds like boxer. At the moment I am almost always free. Basically anytime you need i can hang out with your pets. If you need someone quick I can be ready in about an hour. I currently live in an apartment with some parks close by that I can take your fur baby to. I also have some toys to play with them.
