Dog Walking Hayford

About: I have had a dog since I was 5 and as I got older my responsibilities for pet care increased. I love all dogs as my own and have experience watching other dogs overnight. I am currently working part time. Roughly 6-7 hours a day on Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sat. Before work I will ensure your dog’s needs are meet with bathroom breaks, breakfast and exercise. After work I am fully their for your furry friend if that means more exercise or companionship. During work your pet is free to roam my house if they are trained or I have a crate they can use. I have a fenced yard and 3 furry friends to keep your fur baby company. We have the ability to crate if desired. I will send daily updates and will exercise at least once a day.

About: As a young kid, my family bred Saint Bernards. By all means, I am from a "dog family." I grew up walking, feeding, cleaning stalls, etc. dogs much larger than me. Eventually and gradually we would adopt several mixed-breed dogs and other strays who we loved just as much as our Saints. On top of this, however, I was also proud to be responsible for a beautiful, sassy cat, from a younger kitty to her golden years. Moreover, some friends and I spent time trapping feral cats in West Central Spokane, specifically around where we lived and worked, then taking them to PetSavers for spay/neutering, and working to rehome them. I enjoy "working" with all kinds of dogs and cats. This includes seniors, those with health conditions, or those who simply benefit from extra patience and extra attention. You may already see me walking dogs in Cheney and Airway Heights. I would be glad to get to know your pet family and learn what everyone likes best and wants most. I currently work as a "hand" maintaining a lower-maintenance property in the greater Spokane County. This arrangement is semi-formal and provides ample flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of your pet family. Each home and family is different, and expresses their love for the pet family in different ways. I am glad to meet your pet family where you are all at, and give us an opportunity to get to know each other. I talk low and slow by default, but can easily match the energy of your pet family. Dogs will enjoy their walks and time together and return a happy camper :-) Cats will have a dedicated eye on them and if your cat is a playful or affectionate type, their need to socialize will be met. I can usually coax most shy cats into some socializing or play time, and cats who are "protective" of one thing or another, and maybe not as friendly, still will also get ample care and attention.

“Great dog walkers. Give detailed information from the walk. Easy to work with. Very nice people.”

About: Hi there! I have experience with all size and breeds/mixes of dogs as well as special needs and medical dogs. I also have experience caring and handling rabbits, cats, birds, and reptiles. I love them all. Through years of having animals, and through fostering and volunteering experiences, I have learned important handling skills for all types of animals. I offer dog-walking services and/or pet-sitting because I love interacting with them and ensuring that they meet their needs while their families are away. I am very mindful of surroundings and adhering to special instructions, schedules, and any special handling. I am available early in the mornings, around lunch, or in the evenings. I am happy to support and tailor around your needs and your pet’s needs. Ensuring your animal feels safe and comfortable in their environment is super important to me. I am happy to accommodate your pet(s) and follow their schedule.

About: I’ve had experience with animals through my whole life. Neighbor, friends, clients and family have relied on me to provide the best care for pets. I have plenty of availability to play and care for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends. I also have access to the air force base for any pets who need services there. I have two pets of my own who I love dearly. I promise will care for your fur babies as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors and families pets since I was young and love animals of all kinds! I’m never opposed to a job, whether it be a play date, walk or pet sitting! I can even shuttle your pup to and from vet or grooming appointments if need be! I currently work full time, but I work from home Fridays and am available all day Saturdays and Sundays! I have my own pup who loves playing with others, and is always happy to make a new friend! I’m very attentive to any needs your pet may have and will follow any instructions to a T! If you have any concerns I’m more than happy to reassure :)

About: Hi there! My name is Mari and I love all kinds of pets. Started volunteering at animal shelters since the age of 15 before my parents allowed me to have a dog of my own. I have done everything from walks, feedings, cleanings, and oral medication administration. Mostly worked caring for cats and dogs but have cared for some birds and even a friend's chinchilla once before. Friends, family, and coworkers have relied on me for pet care when trips come up. I have seven cats under my care at the moment. Two I adopted, three the cat distribution system gave me, and two I foster. Love pets so much that I do oil painting pet portraits for a living. 😅 I am an online student with a very flexible schedule that allows for a variety of services ranging from the short 30-60 min drop-in care to the longer walks and house sitting needs. Always happy to arrange a meet and greet! Typically, I am available every day from 8am to 7pm for meet and greets. I know work schedules can get in the way so if you need a specific time that does not fall into that range, let me know and we can go from there. In-person meet and greets can be scheduled at client homes or a neutral location. I will ensure that your pets are well cared for by providing everything they could possibly need. Food, fresh water, and a pal to play with. From my volunteer experience I am really great with administering oral medication if needed. Daily photo updates! Owners can request more photos and I'll gladly comply.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13. My grandma had 25 dogs, and I helped take care of them throughout their lives. I have looked after friend or family member’s dogs…. enjoy dog walking, hikes, training, or playing with them. I deliver packages part time, so I create my own schedule. Creating a structured framework around the pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest, is crucial for their mental and physical well-being. Additionally, pet care encompasses tasks such as cleaning, grooming, and ensuring a safe environment. I think consistency is crucial for pets. Collaborate with your client to comprehend their pet’s daily routine, encompassing feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication administration, and any specific needs. Adhering to a consistent daily routine will contribute to the pet’s comfort and overall well-being.

“Joseph was wonderful! We gave him our rundown of our routine with Archie and he was very receptive and understanding. Joseph is knowledgable and great with our dog. We definitely recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a reliable companion for their pet needs!”

About: I've had cats my entire life. At one point my family had 6 (it was a lot, haha), so I am great at taking care of several animals at once and giving them all the attention that they need. I've been a dog lover forever and became a dog mom officially in 2019 to a sweet 1 year old mini Aussie. I am the go-to friend to watch friends' animals when they are out of town. I luckily have three pets who love (the dog loves, the cats don’t mind) other animals. We watch other dogs and cats often. I work full-time from home which makes my schedule really flexible. I can take dogs outside for potty breaks and walks often and I can set my own hours as needed for easy pick-up and drop-off which means other's needs. In-home: I can be a bit of a tiger mom when it comes to people watching my pets, so I really understand the importance of pet care and trust. I have a fenced yard for animals that I watch here. And I am all about sending photos Other homes: I know that opening your home and pet to someone else is a big deal and I am always respectful and super careful. I treat your space better than my own.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds for most of my adult life. Growing up with pets taught me how their needs change at every stage, from energetic puppies to challenging personalities to elderly dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s needs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have plenty of flexibility during the day to play with, walk, or check in on your pup. I’m rarely away on weekends and stay in the Spokane area for most of my activities, so I’m easy to count on and nearby when you need me. I’m respectful of your home and belongings, and I follow each owner’s instructions and routines closely. I have a car for any transportation needs, such as vet visits or pickups, and I’m very communicative, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing.

“Nazreeya was on time and super friendly! Our pup, had a fabulous time and will be using her again next time we are in town!”

About: I am Suzy I grew up on a farm in a small town. I just retired from being a private hospice caregiver. I have experience with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, goats and horses. I have had my own dogs and cats and started helping more with pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I have an alternative medicine degree and it has helped me not only in my personal life but also with my animals lives. I am good with dogs and cats that have high energy and separation anxiety. I am loving being retired and building my pet sitting business that revolves around cuddles with cats and dogs. I started doing this because I have 3 grand pups and 1 grand cat along with 1 human grand daughter and it has brought me peace and happiness. I was lost on what I wanted to do with this part of my life. I immensely enjoy pet sitting and meeting new pet owners and pets. I am not in a position to have pets at my home. However in your home I am there to help your animal not feel alone by giving them the attention they need or what you have requested.

About: Hi there! Anyone who knows me knows I am an animal lover! I am interested in helping you out with your pets! I have grown up with all different pets and would love to provide you and your pet with a trusting and fun experience. I am confident with all different types of dogs and all animals. I have animals of my own currently. I treat all animals like my own and am a very responsible individual! I also grew up on a farm with many other pets so I am opened to farms if needed. I can confidently say I would be the right option for you and will provide your pet with anything they need! I look forward to hearing back from you! I am currently a stay at home mom looking to make some extra income. I love animals and would love to get to hangout and care for yours during my time! I try my best to keep your pets on the same routine as you do. I know how important our animals are to us and their safety and happiness is my top priority. I will treat your animals as I would hope someone would treat mine.

About: Taking care of your pups and cats is AS important as taking care of my own self. I’ve worked at a doggy day care, so I know all the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do with canines. I am calm, patient, kind, caring, and gentle. Our furry friends are our babies, they deserve every bit of love and light possible. I work an early full time M-F job, so I am unable to do morning drop-ins. I do offer afternoon and evening drop-ins, as well as housesitting (if I am not away from housesitting) as long as your pup is okay being alone for 8-9 hours! Attention and details are some of the most important traits to have while caring for pets. I will carry a loop(s) with me when necessary, so I can easily get ahold of your pup if they become too energetic under certain circumstances. If you need me to take care of something specific that your pup does, I can handle it.

About: I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I were fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I wanted to spend my time doing something productive that I love and caring for dogs is the perfect fit! I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 5 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention (with the exception of over holidays when I will book up to 10 dogs) I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for them. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed. Dog sitting is my full time profession. I do not work outside the home and I'm available to board dogs 7 days a week 24 hours a day! My yard is fully fenced and dog proof. I have a friendly Chihuahua mix named Rudy who loves to hang out and play with other dogs.

About: Welcome to my profile! I’m a dedicated pet lover with a special fondness for both dogs and cats. My journey in pet sitting is marked by my ongoing care for a delightful Boston Terrier named Stella. I’ve had the joy of dog sitting Stella for extended periods, ranging from 3 to 7 days at a time. During my time with Stella, I ensure her needs are met with utmost care and attention. This includes: • Feeding: Providing timely meals according to her dietary requirements. • Walks: Taking her on enjoyable walks, ensuring she gets plenty of exercises and fresh air. • Potty Breaks: I have developed a keen sense of understanding her cues for when she needs to use the potty, ensuring she’s comfortable and accidents are avoided. • Playtime and Affection: Engaging in playtime and providing her with the affection and attention she deserves. In addition to my experience with Stella, I have a deep affection for cats and understand their unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s engaging in playful activities or respecting their space and independence, I’m adept at ensuring they feel safe and loved. My approach to pet sitting is rooted in compassion, patience, and an understanding of the needs of different animals. I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your pets, treating them with the same love and care as if they were my own. Looking forward to being your trusted pet sitter and giving your furry family members the best care possible! I have open availability Friday and Saturday. I work in the evening most days so am available in the morning for walks and visits. Also happy to house sit and check on pets after my shift ends. I first take into consideration the owner and what they prefer when I am taking care of their pet. Generally, I am pretty relaxed and intuitive when it comes to pets. We get along easily, I can gauge how much attention they need, and I don’t worry too much about accidents, if they want to sleep in my bed, or want a bite of people food.

About: Every since I was a kid I have been around animals. My grandma had 3 dogs and that’s where my love for dogs started. My roommate has relied on me multiple times to take care of her cat. I also have a lot of experience watching dogs for friends and family. My goal is to make the dog feel happy and get some extra love. I work in healthcare with a job that allows me to create my own schedule depending on my clients. I will always make sure your pet is fit in my schedule. With having an open schedule allows me to spend more time with your fur baby! I currently live in an apartment with roommates and two cat, so unfortunately I will not be able to board the animals at my place. But I’m available for all the other options. Look forward to getting to know your and your pups or cats! :)
