Dog Walking Ernies Grove

About: Growing up, my family welcomed many rescued animals into our home, from a beagle mix and a golden retriever to a Jack Russell terrier, turtle, guinea pig, bunny, and even a horse. My love for animals inspired me to start pet sitting for friends and family in high school, giving me experience caring for a variety of pets, including pit bulls, greyhounds, golden retrievers, Australian shepherds, and cats. Kaiti is a freelance photographer who works from home, which allows her plenty of time to visit, walk, and shower your pets with love. Quixem, her partner, is a journalist for KING 5 by day and joins her for overnight pet sitting. While Quixem is allergic to cats, Kaiti can still check in on your feline friends and keep them entertained whenever needed. When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment to ensure pets feel secure and happy. I make sure to understand each pet’s unique needs and routines, from feeding schedules to favorite activities, so I can provide care tailored specifically to them. Building trust with pets and their owners is essential to me. I offer meet-and-greets before any new sitting arrangement to allow pets to get comfortable with me. For each stay, I send regular updates, photos, and notes on how your pet is doing, so you feel connected and reassured. My goal is to make you feel confident that your pet is in caring, capable hands.

“Manish was great with my GSP Tess. She is a strong dog and loves her walks. He was able to handle her and he was reliable, which was important to me. I knew she was in good hands with Manish. He sent pictures and stayed in contact when I had questions. I was having surgery and needed to be stress free. I have already re-booked him for my next surgery. I highly recommend him!”

“Juan came by to take care of our kitties and it was perfect. He was communicative, respectful of our house, and did everything exactly as we wanted. Definitely rebooking with him again for Kitty care.”

About: We have both had dogs our entire lives that have spread across a variety of breeds, including Boston Terrier, English Bulldog, Labs, and Australian Shepard. We truly love all breeds and would love to spend time with your dog! We both work from home full time so there is no issue with feeding, walking or potty schedules. We generally love to spend time outdoors on the weekends and would love to take your dog on walks or hikes on the trails, if you’re comfortable. We have a fully fenced in yard and live close to an expansive trail system that we would be more than happy to walk your dog on to enjoy the outdoors. Dogs are welcome to be left loose in our house and will be allowed on the furniture, or feel free to bring their bed and/or crate if that’s what they are used to.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets has always been a passion of mine. I have a 4-year-old Border Collie who means the world to me, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I spent over a year working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, feeding meals, administering medications, cleaning kennels, and making sure every dog was safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the day - and overnight if boarding. I now work at a small local pet store, where I’ve continued expanding my knowledge of pet care, nutrition, and enrichment. I love using my experience to provide attentive, compassionate care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I currently work part-time which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer drop-in visits and walks throughout the week depending on your pets schedule. Every pet is unique, so I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply getting loved on and spoiled, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s needs. I also understand how important peace of mind is, so I am more than happy to send photo updates and messages during each visit!

“Nicolas has been such a huge help with my girls!! They’re not the easiest to walk because one is old and stubborn and the other is young and wants to run, and he’s great with them. :)”

“She is great and goes out of her way to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy, she was really good about sending me pictures of my dog. I was really happy to find him in good health.”

About: My name is Sam, I’m 21 and I’ve been around dogs my entire life, & what sets me apart from other sitters is I have almost 6 years of experience, ranging from working at a dog daycare, dealing with very large groups of dogs (up to 120+ at once), & dealing with a variety of dog breeds, ranging from XS to XL, seniors, puppies & even aggressive or timid dogs. I also have experience/certification with basic training & boarding care, understanding dog body language, dog healthcare, and basic grooming. I work full-time at a dog daycare/boarding facility (I do want to start shifting to working for Rover full time.), but I am available after and/or before work and on my days off for drop ins/walks. My schedule typically stays the same, but can sometimes shift. Currently right now I have Wednesday/Thursday off; and work Friday/Saturday 9am-6pm, Sunday/Tuesday 7:30am-4:30pm, and Monday 7:30am-6pm. Safety and trust are paramount in my approach to caring for dogs. With certifications in training and safety, I prioritize creating a secure environment where dogs feel safe and loved.

“Isabella is a gem!! I will definitely have her walk Jackson again in the future!”

“Lily was fantastic with our two pups! She was on time, communicated clearly and was very reliable! She was able to help us out last minute in a time we really needed it. We will continue to use her in the future!”

About: My experience ranges wide from puppy training + care, all the way too administering medicine for senior dogs and caring for their special needs! I pride myself on ensuring the individual needs of each different pet are met, no matter what they may be! I currently attend Washington State University at the Pullman campus! I have classes M-F in the afternoon, but am extremely flexible in my scheduling otherwise! Safety & client relationships are a top priority in how I care for pets. I believe open communication between a sitter and client is crucial for peace of mind when allowing for someone else to care for your babies. I provide updates, pictures, and messages to ensure comfort on both ends. Honesty is key! I also take home safety seriously when visiting clients' properties. Locking all exterior doors, windows, and garages are a primary focus post-visiting your pet. I understand it may be nerve wracking to invite someone into your space with your furry companion, and I want to ensure I am treating your environment with the upmost respect and care.

About: We have been caring for dogs for many years. Starting from puppies to full grown dogs over the years and know how to understand what a dog needs for a healthy, happy, and full life. Aharon works from home most of the time. With just one dog at home it would be easy to add another. It’s easy to add another to the pack! We take our dogs outside for exercise twice a day and have play sessions in between. We have 1800 sqft of interior space for the dogs to play and chill with a fenced backyard. The area is residential and lots of families around that know us.

About: I am an avid pet lover and caregiver with many different breeds of animals. I have an innate ability with animals who sense my compassionate nature for their well being. I am trustworthy, honest, seeking part time supplemental income. I have a friend who owns a Bernice Mountain Dog, who I have dog sat for many times as well as taken on long walks and fed. I also helped raise two female Alaskan Huskies from pups. I taught them basic obedience training (how to shake, sit and lay down). I am available to work anytime Monday-Friday and anytime on Saturday and Sunday. I can do overnight stays during both week nights and weekends. I’m currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and would love the opportunity to watch your pup. I will make sure to actively walk your dog, feed and play with them. If you have a fenced yard I will make sure your dog gets plenty of play time outside.

About: I have cared for dogs young and old, big and small, sleepy and energetic, fluffy and derpy. I'd love to hang with your pup. I spent all of 2025 using pet sitting to travel around the country and internationally, caring for 9 dogs, 14 cats, and one rabbit. I have been working consistently as a pet sitter since returning. I have been a dog lover ever since I first held my baby pug dog-niece, Beans, in my cupped hands. Since then, I've cared for Beans frequently, as well as for the pets of other friends and neighbors. I'm currently doing a smattering of gig and freelance work, including giving ghost tours, hosting music bingo, and trying to finish my novel. This leaves me with plenty of time to give your pet all the cuddles, pets, and walks they deserve. When pet sitting, I care for any client's home with care and respect. I do my best to follow the pet's routines to keep them as comfortable as possible. I strive to leave each home at least as clean as I found it.

About: Daily Update! Flexible Service! Your pet’s happiness comes first! I provide daily updates, personalized care, and flexible service to make every stay comfortable and stress-free. I've had a dog for over 10 years. I always do my best to take care of them. I'm so happy when I see their happy smile. I usually take my dog out 4-5 times a day. Morning Lunchtime. Dinner time. I love to take a dog to the park or mountains. Your pet's safety is my priority. I always do my best to take care of them. I'm so happy when I see their happy smile!

About: I have taken care of many dogs and have been living with a 4 year old dog and have been going on hiking up trails almost everyday staying healthy and fit. Waking at least 2 long walks, trails at times and playing outside in the yard with a toy and ball. Of course will feed breakfast and dinner and go to potty breaks. Will keep home and keep a quite and safe place to sleep and go to potty breaks multiple times but will also go on hikes and play outside in the yard as well, staying a healthy environment.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

About: I have over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and a lifelong love for animals. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my own rescue dog, whom I found in a hiking area at just 10 days old. I nurtured him through every stage of life from bottle feeding as a tiny puppy to supporting him in his senior years. This journey taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to adapt care for each stage of a dog’s life. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and rescue animals who may need extra understanding and reassurance. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with safety, comfort, and love at the heart of everything I do. Pet care has always been a part of my daily life. After many years caring for my own beloved dog, I now look forward to sharing that same love and attention with the pets I care for. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or evening snuggles, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and give them plenty of affection and attention. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets, attentive to special needs like medications or senior care, and keep a close eye on their well-being. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and in good hands.

About: I'm 36 years old, I love animals and recently got out of the Navy. My family has four dogs back home, kimchi (pitbull lab mix), Indy (German shepherd mix) Louis and Rene (daschunds), and three cats that we rescued (Jiji, Cleo and Smokey). In high school I worked as a kennel worker at a veterinary hospital for 2 years and love working with animals. I’ve spent some time volunteering at local animal shelters at different places I was stationed with the military. I really enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes and would love to take care of your pets while you’re away. I’m available for house-sitting, drop in visits and dog walks. I work nights from 8 pm-6:30 am, I’m off 7 days/6 nights in a row every other week, feel free to reach out and I’ll let you know if I work any of the dates you’re interested in. During a week where I work, I would be able to come back to your pet in the morning and feed them breakfast/either go for a walk or hang out a bit. Afterwards I would sleep from roughly 8:30 am-12:30pm. When I wake up at 12:30 I can offer your pet a midday walk/potty break/or just some one on one time. Around 3 pm, I may take a 2-3hr nap, but otherwise I will be free from 12:30 pm until I need to leave for 8 pm shift. If you have questions/concerns with this schedule I’m more than happy to answer them. When I am off I switch back to a normal daytime schedule will be able to spend the day/night with your pet. When watching your pet, I’m there for your pet. If they want to hang out and do nothing, we’ll do that. If they want to go for walks, hikes or adventures, we’ll do that. I can accommodate myself to fit your pet’s needs.
