“Charles was absolutely stellar. My cat can be quite a handful and doesn't really like new people, but he still tried to befriend her and kept me updated on everything. I would absolutely hire him again.”
“Wonderful! Was able to pick up our request last minute, sent photos and updates! 10 out of 10!”
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 majoring in ELEM ED with morning classes. During the afternoon, I work as a babysitter. My position is very flexible, so mid-day drop ins are available. 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.
“Joseph was clear and kind with Beatrice, providing structure and commands consistent with my own. He was attentive to every detail of her care, and she loved hanging out with him. We look forward to more walks with Joseph!”
“Helen provided care for our cats and dogs above and beyond our expectations. She handled unexpected situations immediately and most appropriately. Communication was excellent from meet and greet set up to anecdotes and pictures throughout the care period. We had no worries or stresses and complete confidence our pets were in the best care. I highly recommend Helen as she is reliable, a joy to work with and provides great care. We will be rebooking with her soon.”
“Grace was awesome and my kitty loved her! She sent me lots of pictures (including one to show the clean litter box) and was a great communicator. I will definitely rebook with Grace.”
About: I’m a very kind hearted, patient, and active person who loves dogs like they are family. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, a playtime pal, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to give them all the care and attention that they deserve. I am a firm believer in treating every dog like my own: with compassion, consistency, and lots of belly rubs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority, and I’m excited to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a consistent and grounding responsibility. As a full time college student and athlete, my schedule is packed with classes, training, and studying, so I thrive on structure. Taking care of pets gives me a reason to pause and reset. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or just spending a few quiet minutes together, it adds purpose and balance to my day. I actually appreciate that it forces me to be organized and stay on a routine even when things get hectic. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, reliability, and making the animal feel safe and comfortable. This includes sticking to feeding times, walks, play, and giving them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and treat their space with respect. I understand how important trust is when it comes to someone’s pet, so I make sure their animal gets the same level of care and attention I’d give my own.
“Mikaela did a great job watching my cat for the weekend. She gave thorough updates with photos on each drop in visit which I greatly appreciated!”
About: I love to make dogs happy, have fun and enjoy life! Let’s take a lot of walks, eat good treats, and get lots of pets! Through the summer months I am totally open to accept pet sitting, dog walks, feeding, check ins whatever is needed! I work part time during school season. I always use a leash when caring for others pets, unless there is a fenced, safe area. I will follow the owners guidelines, exactly. Extremely responsible.
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’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’ve animals most of my life, and have enjoyed getting to watch others dogs as well!! 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.
“Onyx was amazing with my dogs, great with communication, and extremely professional when I made mistakes with my first experience using river, and will totally book again!”
“Lauren did a house visit for my pups and they absolutely loved her! She was able to help us out on short notice too which we appreciate so much. She is so sweet, we will definitely book with Lauren again!”
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and absolutely love them. I am hoping to help care for many more pets while owners are unable to. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I am looking into further education so I won’t be able to do much during the school day, but I am able to do drop in visits. After school on most days I can have a few hours for pet care. I have two dogs and a cat that I keep fed and take on walks. I spend a little bit of time each day playing and bonding with them. My cat is an inside and outside cat that tends to go on walks with me and the dogs (just at his own pace). All of my pets get a lot of love and care. I also have helped get young dogs to have a more gentle mouth and a little less food possessive, although this typically works better for young dogs/ puppies. While doing drop in visits for a friend’s dogs for 2 weeks, I feed, watered, walked, and played with both of there dogs. I really enjoyed getting to spend the time with them during that period.
About: I have grown up around dogs and other animals all my life. I helped my dad train our two Aussies when I was young and got to train my family's puppy, a Husky- German Shepard mix. I have watched doves of all ages, from young to old. I love training and playing with dogs and am excited to meet and get to know your furry friend! I also have experience with snakes and reptiles and am not afraid of less-furry friends! I am a full time student at Central Washington University. I have some time throughout the week if I need to check on pets throughout the day and am available on Friday and the weekends. I will care for pets based on how the owner desires them to be cared for. I am kind and caring to animals but not afraid to show authority if I need to.
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’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.
“Hailey was easy to communicate with and reliable. She gave me helpful updates on my elderly cat while we were away and reliably showed up on time to feed and love on him.”
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.

I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely, and more importantly, someone my animals absolutely adore.”
Lacey C.
“Lacey is one of those individuals that don't come along everyday - she is a compassionate and caring human being with a giant soft spot for our four-legged furry companions! Just ask my two dogs - they would give her 4 paws up! When Lacey is caring for my dogs, I am confident that they are safe, getting snuggles and all the love I would give them, and it's a bonus that she is also a certified dog trainer so her knowledge base about canine behaviors is extensive. Lacey is professional, highly skilled at what she does, responsive and open-minded, she uses a gentle and positive approach, and she cares deeply. Lacey goes above and beyond and I am hesitant to write this because selfishly, I don't want her schedule to fill up and risk her not being available when I need someone to care for my doggies. She's that good and I am so very grateful for her care and support.”

Trooper is a stubborn dog who has no problem letting you know what he wants/doesn't want and Jared was able to handle him without any problems, even when Trooper refused to come when he was called. Trooper's always excited to see Jared, would run and meet him at the door. Jared was always willing to take Trooper on walks and they would be gone for a good length of time.”

Grace was awesome and my kitty loved her! She sent me lots of pictures (including one to show the clean litter box) and was a great communicator. I will definitely rebook with Grace.
Charles went above and beyond for our senior cat, Okami! She had intense separation anxiety and was stressed out for the duration of our vacation, and Charles attended to every single need of hers. He provided timely responses, pictures, and advice to each of our concerns. He is an excellent carer. Would rate six stars if possible!
Aidan was awesome! He took fantastic care of our cat, communicated with me frequently, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him again the next time I need cat sitter.
